Wherever open season allows the pursuit of walleyes, early spring is prime time for tapping one of the years best bites. Thanks to the spawning migration, big numbers of fish gather in predictable places, offering savvy anglers a shot at banner catches.
For veteran fishing guide Jason Muche, the open-water periods early days mean finding places where lake-run eyes focus on warm inflows. On his home waters of Wisconsins famed Lake Winnebago Chain and Lake Michigans Green Bay, that means keying on tributaries such as the Wolf and Fox rivers.

The Lake Erie Committee has announced its recommended total allowable catch (TAC) of 11.081 million pounds of yellow perch and 4.027 million walleye for this season.
