The Pocket Guide to Seasonal Walleye Tactics

How to catch these sought-after game fish in any season and any condition.

If you want to catch a walleye on a consistent basis, you need to know its behavior—what it eats, where it prefers to hold, where it goes when water temperatures change, and more.

In The Pocket Guide to Seasonal Walleye Tactics, Monte Burch gives you all the information you’ll need to catch walleyes in any season. Providing time-tested information, Burch explains walleye behavior, the best spots to fish for them, and the best tackle and gear to use. The book is broken into eight seasonal sections, beginning with early spring and the prespawn period and carrying through to the postspawn and finally the winter. Each section includes illustrations demonstrating the best places to find walleye as well as the best fishing techniques to employ once you’ve found them.

This updated and expanded edition now features color photographs. A concise guide with a wealth of information, including handy quick reference charts and a chapter on tools, The Pocket Guide to Seasonal Walleye Tactics is a useful tool for every angler.
