I think sometimes due to changes in forage big walleyes will split off from the larger schools of smaller sized fish. I do have a little input here though. This winter two of my favorite lakes have given me nothing but small fish. I have caught many big fish over the years including some very nice fish out of these two bodies of water as recent as this past fall. The big fish are still in there but I believe they are feeding in different areas and at much different times than they have in the past. As Kickemup said they are not swimming with the smaller fish and are instead spread out and feeding in aggressive sperts like you think of big pike or musky doing. I have witnessed this behavior in summer before too from walleye and if you can get on them it can be very rewarding! You still might not get the numbers you hope for but the fish are usually the healthiest/fattest that you will have ever seen them. Several winter's ago I was fishing a couple different lakes near my childhood stomping grounds. I knew there were big walleyes in them but I was struggling to find them. Unlike this winter I actually put a pattern together that winter on both lakes and found the fish feeding only at night in very shallow water when we had an almost full moon. I wish I could figure my two lakes out this year but i will probably have to wait until long rod season to catch some piggly wigglies again.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
