I went to find out to see if there were any walleye’s around,after the walleye sanctuary was lifted in Zone 16 above the Keil Street Bridge,(Chatham),on May 11/19.I ended up going out about 8 times within the last 2 weeks,to try and find some walleye’s on the thames river in various areas,with a lot of hiking involved to get to some of my “favourite spot’s.” It was a hit & miss to catch them from each trip out,but without first catching various other species,but eventually I found them,and put a “pattern” together,and I had a great time with hardly anyone else on the river fishing & it was very peaceful on most days!! ❤Unfortunately,there were days were I picked up garbage first left by other anglers by the river!! On another day on a walleye fishing trip,I almost stepped on this snake which I have never seen before.I took a few photo’s of the snake about 2 feet long,and while I was photographing it,it was “hissing” at me,and its head “flared up” like a cobra snake!! Once I got home,I looked it up in one of my Field Guide books,and I believe it was a eastern hognose snake,and apparently they are quite rare and a protected species!! Now for the walleye’s,I did catch some within the last couple of weeks,and I am sure that there are still some residential walleye’s around.My Thames River fishing is over for now,and I am going to be focusing on the St.Clair walleye fishing there,because I have been hearing that the walleye fishing has been,ON FIRE!! I have never jigged for walleye’s on the Detroit or the St.Clair river out of my boat before,and it should be interesting for me to learn!! There are a lot of you tube videos that I have been watching,and I am interested in learning this style of fishing!! Sorry again for my long fishing/adventure report,& tight lines to All!! ???
