Walleye Flies
 

Would anyone mind sharing their favorite Walleye or Pickerel Fly choices? I
have not done much walleye fishing but my buddies have persuaded me to try
it. We will be mainly fishing rivers so any assistance will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Stu.

It's not so easy to catch walleye on a fly. Personally I think it's kind of
a waste of time, unless you want that specific challenge. Then get some
sinking line and some streamer type flies. For pickerel it's a much better
situation as they are shallower water fish and will go for most of the same
flies pike will go for. (By "pike" I mean Northern Pike, not "Walleye Pike"
or "Yellow Pike".) By the way, don't you have Northern Pike in those
waters?

Conventional wisdom has been that you must use a large enough streamer
to hook a minnow to.

Seriously, will you be fishing the riffles between lakes in Canada?
There is supposed to be some fine walleye fishing there near the spawn.

Here in the Northwest, a friend of a friend uses Muddler Minnows
effectively. But, he uses mono with weight to get the fly down.
