Spawning time - or the Walleye spawning period in this situation - is a time of great tension. Tension not only for the Walleye fish themselves but also the avid fisherman. One is waiting to get it over. The other is waiting for the period to end and the legal fishing season to begin.

If the time period of spawning, that is the time when the Walleye fish produce fish eggs - multitudes of aquatic eggs, in an effort to propagate the species, and as well produce those "Killer" Walleyes for the next seasons of sportsmen - is a brief, variable period lasting from only one to three days for individual female Walleye fish and a little bit longer for individual males. The Spawn period includes the peak spawning temperature range for walleyes at approximately 42 - 49 degrees Fahrenheit.

However , since Walleyes begin spawning at temperatures as low as 48 degrees F. , and have even been recorded , by most reputable biologists , at temperatures as high as 50 degrees Fahrenheit. , it is not only a matter of one single factor, temperature, as to when the spawning time periods of this marine creature occurs. Indeed it can be said authoritatively that the key indicator for the arrival of the Spawn Period and times of spawning, occurs when the majority of these male Walleye cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates are milting and the females eggs have ripened. While it can be said that while technically a fish that has not spawned and is still in the "Pre-Spawn" period, the reality is the closer a given fish or group of fish come to actually spawning themselves, the less likely to strike at the bait on your fishing line and the bait and lures of your fishing buddies and friends. Count on this fact of life to be a truism.

Feeding activity during actual spawning itself can be counted on to be minimal if not non-existent. Lots of luck if you are planning a fishing excursion that weekend. However some of the time cantankerous milting males, cruising around looking and waiting for a female or females will make actual reflex strikes at baits, lures or other possible intruders in their staging areas. However during the actual spawning time period activity itself these same male fish will not strike at your lures. On the other hand it must be noted that there are small exceptions in the minds and mythology of serious Walleye aficionados. One possible exception is in small rivers. Where Walleyes have been known to be caught and landed during spawning moments themselves. Yet by and large, actual spawning time is a poor if not absolutely terrible choice of time to go fishing.
However when planning your fishing trips and excursion whether it is a day trip or a major jaunt to a fishing lodge or lodges of your choice - that spawning time across various waterways is not cast in stone , nor is it absolute. While spawning is taking place in one area or lake , there can be groups of Walleye fish of your angling dreams in other areas nearby either who are waiting to spawn or have already completed the spawning process and phases. Consider spawning and the "Spawn Period" to be a local activity. On the other side of the road or fishing line however you can generally count that the great majority of the Walleye fish population in a given area will spawn in a two week period itself or even less.
If anything can be said when it comes to the Spawn Period for Walleye fish as well as avid Walleye fisherman and sportsmen at the lodge or on the lake is that during this episode in their lives both are subjected and exposed to a great amount of stress on the Walleye fishing waters of the world..
