Last Day of the Walleye Season

[Red Hering]

Good luck on the last day of the walleye season to all,if you are fishing here today in Zone 16 east of Chatham.The fishing has been slow recently in this area,not due to the crowds of Anglers,(no one is around),but because of the lower and clearer water conditions that we are experiencing right now.Either way,I have managed to catch some walleye’s recently,but I have hiked to different spot’s to find them,today I will be hiking a lot & trying different spots again.Some photo’s from my last few trip’s out on the Thames river.The Walleye’s are there & Good Luck to All,& Walleye’s ON!! ????

Went out for few hours. No walleye but did get a 6 lb pike that was a shock

Took my boy out for the last kick at the can and he picked up this beauty...proud of his decision to let it go....just shy of 6 pounds. I think the belly itself weighed a couple...

 

[JohnW]

What a beauty!!! You can't go wrong with sustainability @j-man

 

[Red Hering]

Good luck @Red Hering

Thanks @JohnW Wishing me Good Luck today Helped!! I had a great last day on the Thames river,with a limit of Walleye’s caught. ????

Nice to read that your boy let it go @j-man.There have been a few females caught that others (and myself have released-photo),over the last few weeks of Walleye fishing on the Thames river,and it will definitely help to improve our Fishery for years to come!! ????

Nice Catch @SonsOfPerchin That is a nice size Pike for the Thames,and I personally haven’t caught a pike for quite sometime on the Thames,and I also would be shocked,if I ever did hook into one around that size and larger. ????

@SonsOfPerchin @Red Hering I dunno If you guys heard but there was a musky caught at the fork of the thames last summer (i think it was in the 30" range?)

There's been many musky caught withing London the past couple years I'd say 75% have been Hybrids (the one that made the paper was a Tiger) with a few true Musky as well. Great to see!

This was the pike my friend caught a couple weeks ago down there.

You had a very good walleye season on the Thames Erich with great reports!

Yes @HotPickle,I did hear about the musky being caught at the fork of the thames last summer.Since the Springbank Dam has been out of commission,there has been a few species of fish caught that you normally would not see while fishing the thames river.I have even heard a few year’s ago,a Salmon was caught below Fanshawe Dam.????

Thanks @Wave Runner,it was a great walleye season,and I already miss being on the riverbank here locally again this morning.It was nice to see that the walleye fishing on the Thames is improving.????

 

[HotPickle]

@Josh Roelofsen @Red Hering I had no idea the thames was like that!

 

[Red Hering]

@Red Hering, thanks for all the Thames walleye reports! Great season you had!

It was a great walleye season & thanks @stomp,and I miss it already,and also thanks to my wife for having patience with me,while the “honey do list” was put on hold during the last few weeks of me fishing hard & steady for the walleye’s!! ? lol ????

 

[Red Hering]

This was the pike my friend caught a couple weeks ago down there.

I know that spot (lol) down by the Komoka bridge,& where are the crowd of angler’s!! (lol) & Nice Pike caught by your friend Adam,@Cam Reeves! It was nice to meet up with you both that morning & to fish together for a few hours.Tight lines & please keep in touch. ????

Your bringing your son up right if he’s releasing fish to continue to breed. Good for him and good for you for doing a nice job raising your kids. Oh nice fish!!!
