When you are fishing for walleye the weather has the most influence where walleyes will be located and how active they will be feeding. Take for instance when weather conditions are warm and sunny, most walleyes will head to deeper waters or find underwater structures to stay cool and shield their eyes.When the sun is out with no overcast and very little breeze, the walleye will head to the thick weed beds and underwater structure and deep for cover because the surface water is way to warm, so you will have to do your walleye fishing in these areas.

If when you get out on the water the sun is bright overhead but there is a good wave chop, you will find walleye anywhere. The waves cool and turn the water and they redirect the suns rays. One of the very best times to catch your walleye limit is right before a storm when the sky is dark and overcast and the waves are active. Walleyes tend to become very aggressive at these times. The walleye fish is a very unpredictable species of species to fish for sometimes. Using the weather conditions of any particular day is a good way to decide on your walleye fishing starting point for the day.

The weather is just one indicator when you are trying to locate walleye. It is by no means always 100%. You should still use your GPS fishing finder also. But if you use these two methods to put you on fish you can save time and increase your chances of getting your walleye catch limit. But remember the walleye species may surprise you . Do not depend 100% on these two walleye fishing indicators to put you on fish. Be prepared to fish in other areas if these two indicators fail. Like I have said walleye can be very finicky and unpredictable fish at times. I think this one of the reasons they are one of the most sought after game fish.

As a rule of thumb walleye move closer to shore and into shallow water in the cooler months and farther out to deep water in the summer months, but remember that walleye are a very unpredictable fish and I have caught them close to shore in the dead of summer. Normally, Walleyes will move when there is a drop in water temperatures and there is a change in weather conditions such as a storm moving in or a overcast cold day, and by all means use these indicators for locating fish, just don't depend on these indicators 100% be prepared to use other methods to fish for walleye if necessary.
