Lake Blue Ridge Fishing

Walleye
The Walleye bite is in full swing. We have been fishing night crawlers on the bottom as well down lining Blue Back Herring. Most of the Walleye seem to be holding on a 25 to 30ft bottom and rising to the 15ft depths to feed on points. Positioning the boat over the fish is very critical. Walleye are not very aggressive and take several seconds to catch the bait sometimes. This can be tough in the winter on the northern lakes in the wind. Just remember Walleye are very bottom oriented fish and only travel just a few feet of the bottom to feed. The trolling bite will be picking up in the next few weeks. We will be dragging an array of colorful crank baits.
