Troutn Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I cought this a few weeks ago while night fishing at rebar. First one ever for me! This isn't a regular occurance is it? I have been fishing down there for about 5 years now and this is the first one I have layed eyes on.

Troutn Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 Email comming your way Mr Lilley! Walleye
Steve Smith Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Walleye would be a very common catch in any trout water. Walleye are cold water fish, and Rainbow trout are probably the walleye's favorite meal. In my annual trip to Lake of the Woods in Canada, we sometimes use rainbow trout minnows as bait when the walleye won't hit leeches. Since they are almost a buck a piece, we don't use them often, but they alway guarantee a bite. I also fish for them in Roaring River and Beaver tailwaters every winter when they make their spawning run using trapped horny head suckers as bait. I did see an unusual site a few weeks ago on Beaver tailwaters, when a huge walleye swam by my feet. It's not unusual to see walleye, but it is to see a single fish. Walleye normally run in packs like wolves. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Leonard Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Troutn... Just a month or so ago I caught one my self... 24in... and from what Ive read in your post.. almost the same place... the run between the rebar and the big hole... I may have to going tonight (if they are not running water)... Question... Did you catch it on a fly rod.. and if so.. what fly were you using??? http://www.taneycomonights.com
flyman Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 What where you using when you caught the walleye?
Troutn Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 I cought it on spinning gear using a Rapala. I thought that it might not be that uncommon, but it was the first encounter I have had while fishing the trophy area. Are they sought after on Taneycomo or mostly cought by mistake? Anyway, thanks for the info!
