Walleye are the largest and most
robust member of the perch family, has two dorsal fins on an
elongated body and coloured olive green, flecked with gold or
yellow. Its large, light-sensitive eyes are the reason it's called
Walleye. It prefers weedy areas or deep, clear water, mainly in the
southern regions in smaller lakes and the southern rivers
entering Great Slave Lake and the Mackenzie River. It is highly
sought after and puts up a spirited battle when hooked. Average
weights run up to 2.5 kg (5 lbs). Casting jigs of various colors is
the best method for summer walleye in the lakes and rivers, with
crankbaits and spoons also being effective.
