Many walleye anglers have found fall fishing for walleye can be very good if they learn how to pinpoint the fish during this transition time. There are several keys for catching fall walleyes — determining the depth where the fish are holding and, finding active fish.
Stockton has become walleye fishermen’s favorite Missouri lake, along with Pomme de Terre, which is noticeably becoming a good walleye lake as well.
Threadfin shad spawn in late summer or early fall. Their spawning grounds are usually coves off the main lake. These small baitfish in coves come at a time when the spring spawning shad are large enough for walleye to eat, but the new fish draw the walleyes into coves like a magnet. Using lures that resemble minnows can be effective.
Depending on light conditions, walleye move up and down the water column. On cloudy days or when the water is off color, look for the fish in shallower water; but when the sun is bright or the water is very clear, check out deeper water.
