Can you catch walleye in California?
As salmon are to the West, walleye are to this region. People travel to the state’s Northwoods just to fish for walleye; a large Catholic population enjoys them for Friday fish fries; and Native American tribes spear walleye in the early spring in accordance with their cultural and religious traditions.
How far south are walleye found?
SIZE: The common length for walleye is around 54 cm (22.3 in) with the maximum reported length being 107 cm (42 in). RANGE: Walleye in North America are found in the Arctic south to the Great Lakes and across to the St. Lawrence River.
Are walleye leaders shy?
The first is that walleye are not line shy. This comes from fisherman explaining why they use fluorocarbon leader on braided main line when fishing for walleye. Their claim is that especially in clear water, walleye will shy away from line except when they’re in a feeding frenzy. Then all bets are off.
Is fluorocarbon better than monofilament?
Also boosting sensitivity, fluoro sinks faster than mono, resulting in less slack or bow between the lure and rodtip. Toughness—Fluorocarbon is more abrasion resistant than standard nylon monofilament of the same diameter.
Can you put fluorocarbon on a spinning reel?
The simple answer is that you can use fluorocarbon on a spinning reel if the line is under 8 lbs. Anything above that will result in a lot of tangles and poor casting distance. If you need to use something stronger than an 8 lb test, you should go with braid to a fluorocarbon leader.
Can I use fluorocarbon line as a leader?
The simple answer is that yes, you can use fluorocarbon line as your leader material and it’s what I use 90% of the time. I prefer using fluorocarbon as my leader material because it’s invisible in the water and is more abrasion-resistant compared to monofilament.
Should I use braid or fluorocarbon?
Fluorocarbon falls much faster than mono, so use that to your advantage! I use fluorocarbon when casting crankbaits, casting wacky worms, Texas rigging, or jigging for walleyes or crappies. Braid or so-called superlines float and perform well for spinning reels or professional grade for baitcasters.
