I posted this in Kansas State Forum - but thought I might get more help here...

It's not crappie - but similar

Thinking about breaking in to Walleye fishing and looking for advice.

From the research this morning in the net I learned:

Walleye spawn early - water temp should be around 40 degree.

Walleye are a sluggish fish - preferring to ambush pray from a hidden position

Early spring walleye are more prone to large bait fish / imitation, but leaches, night crawlers are also good options.

River walleye prefer to be near current but hang in the break - edies, dam breaks, rocks, logs, dips in the bottom conture.

Fish should be targeted with a slow down stream / go with the current presentation that keeps contact with bottom.

That is all I know about Walleye...

Any help would be appriciated.

I would assume that South East Kansas Rivers should be hitting spawn temps shortly with March rolling around the corner.

I am looking at

Verdigris River dams - up out of Oolagah lake (Coffeyville, Ks)

Elk River - up out of Elk City Lake (Independence, Ks)

And possibly - Fall River (Neodesha, Fredonia - Ks) (not very famillure with Fall River)

Any advise, pointers, experience would be much appriciated.

Thank you in advance.
