The Great Oklahoma Walleye Fishing Frenzy
Topics: walleye fishing, fishing
Because walleye tend to prefer deep lakes with rocky bottoms in cold areas of North America, Oklahoma walleye fishing is not something that is generally discussed or even thought about. However, in some impoundments and warmer waters, walleye have been a great prize fish for those who love the taste of a white, flaky fish cooked out on the grill or sauteed nicely in a skillet. Oklahoma has actually been a location where walleye have managed to thrive a bit against the odds and despite the warmth of the climate and the lack of deep lakes in the state.
Because this predatory fish will eat almost anything it can get its sharp, curved teeth around, there is no shortage of food supply in the Oklahoma lakes and rivers in which the walleye reside. Many of these lakes do have the gravelly, rocky, and sandy bottoms that walleye prefer, and some lakes are even deep enough to satisfy the walleye at being in darker, murkier waters. Walleye are named such because they have a special film behind their retinas that both reflects and absorbs sun, allowing it to see in waters where most fish cannot. Because they have instinctively learned to use this to their advantage, walleye feel more confident and comfortable in such conditions, knowing that they can see better than their prey.
Oklahoma walleye fishing can be productive, but you may not find many large specimens in the lakes and rivers here. Walleye have strange growing tendencies that are greatly affected by the temperature of the environment in which they reside. In most of the cold northern lakes, walleye will grow slowly, have a long life span, and reach a large size, sometimes up to 25 inches. However, in warmer waters, the growth pattern shifts significantly. In warmer climates, such as those found in Oklahoma, the walleye will grow much more quickly. However, they won’t get quite as large, and their lifespan is shortened.
When you participate in Oklahoma walleye fishing, there are some tips to keep in mind. First of all, in this area of the country, walleye will spawn in spring, during which time they will migrate up into the feeder streams of the lake in which they typically reside. You’ll find them mainly in clean, shallow surface areas near deeper water. For best results, since walleye don’t like the heat or the light, you’ll find your best catch after sunset through about midnight. Use live bait or crankbaits, small spinners, and plastic worms to lure in your walleye.
