[Walleyed]

For the past 40 years or so, my extended family has taken 1 or 2 trips a year to Caribou Lake near Armstrong, Ontario.

On that particular lake, you catch all your walleye on mepps spinners with a minnow hanging off the treble hook.

The northerns are all caught on rapala F9 and F11s (although we have branched out a bit, those are still guaranteed winners).

However....I've fished on other Canadian lakes where if you weren't dropping a nightcrawler on a harness, the walleye wouldn't give you a second look.

I personally think walleye are incredibly varied according to the food availability in the given body of water. In Lake Erie, we catch them trolling spoons, in Hopatcong you better be live-lining a herring.

Best to talk to the locals and find out how they catch them.
