Ice Fishing Walleye:

Ice fishing for walleye is relatively new to the scene. In fact new magazines are popping up all the time dedicated to fishing Walleye.

Walleyes and sauger are light sensitive and tend to bite best around dawn and dusk. They also tend to bite the best at first ice.

Walleye are usually taken by jigging, although tip-ups are becoming more popular.

Typical tackle consists of:

• slip bobber rig
• 6 to 8 lb line
• split shot
• hooked minnow
• light to medium action rod
• open faced spinning reel

Try different styles of jigging-start aggressive, then work your way down to subtle taps. Usually you will find something in-between works.
