Epic Cold Water Walleye Secrets You Need To Know

Using a jig and minnow during spring and fall is a top-producing tactic for walleye anglers everywhere. James Lindner and Jeff Simpson spend the day using MegaLive to help find and catch shallow-water walleyes in the fall. This time of year is great for walleye fishing, and Leech Lake in north central Minnesota is a fantastic fishery. Humminbird's MEGA Live Imaging is a new sonar technology that delivers the clarity and detail of MEGA Imaging in live-action, allowing anglers to see fish and structure in real-time, even watching fish on-screen as they move in to bite an angler’s lure. Start seeing fish in real-time, in no time. Upgrading to MEGA Live Imaging is simple. Connect the included Ethernet and power cable and attach the three-position MEGA Live transducer to your trolling motor and you're ready to fish. Adjust between the three viewing modes with a twist of the transducer. Thanks to MEGA Imaging detail throughout the entire view, you’ll always have a clear view from edge-to-edge, no matter what view you select.Unlike many fishing trips designed for catch-and-release or showcasing trophy fish, this outing to Minnesota’s famed Leech Lake was about something different—harvest. With the crisp fall wind stirring up a perfect "walleye chop," the focus shifted toward putting a few quality eaters in the box. But this wasn’t just an old-school meat run. This trip offered a deep dive into how modern angling technology, selective harvest practices, and evolving fisheries management philosophies intersect in today’s fishing world.

Fall Patterns and the Role of Shallow Flats

Leech Lake is renowned for its fall walleye bite, when baitfish like shiners and perch migrate to shallow flats. These migrations draw in pods of hungry walleyes. In years past, locating these roaming fish was a serious challenge. Without advanced sonar, anglers had to drift and hope, often spooking fish before even spotting them on their screens.
