Fall Walleyes - Where to Find them
Fall is upon us here in Montreal and the walleye have already begun their seasonal fall migration. This means that at this time of the year you will find them congregating on the most obvious structures. The steeper the better. Look for points with very sharp dropoffs, if you're fishing reservoirs, look for the old river beds, or even look for the bottom of steep rock faces, dam walls, manmade structures are good, anything steep is likely to hold walleyes in the fall.
Look for them in 15 to 25 feet of water, fish them with jigs, right off the bottom. They will feed all day long, but as per usual twilight kicks ass, as other species begin sleeping or resting, the walleye starts hunting actively.

Hi, could you indicate where in Montreal would be a good place to go? Near habitat 67? At l'Île de la visitation on the Hydro dam?
Sure, I know a few good places, you can pretty well drift anywhere along the seaway channel. Control the drift with bags or electric motor to keep a vertical line, use 3/4 to 1 ounce jigs tipped with minnows, worms or soft plastics (leeches are hard to find these days).
Try near the Boucherville islands, where the tunnel meets the rock piles near the south shore, also lac saint louis is great near the Lachine lighthouse and around Dorval island.
