- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Sander vitreus
- Average Weight: 9 - 12 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Walleye range from the Arctic down through most of Canada to the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes. They are also found in the Mississippi River basins and the Gulf drainages of Alabama and Mississippi. Stocking programs have introduced walleye to Atlantic Coast drainages from Vermont to South Carolina, and throughout the western states, with the exception of California. The Walleye prefer water temperatures of 65 F to 75 F.You’ll find the walleye in lakes, and in medium to large rivers. They do particularly well in large, shallow lakes prone to moderately turbid conditions.
- Biology: The walleye's low-light vision and sensitivity to bright light play a large role in its behavior.Walleye's usually feed in shallow water at dawn and dusk. Walleye are fish-eaters, preying heavily on yellow perch, which cannot see as well as the walleye in low light and thus are easy prey at night.With daylight, walleye move into the shadows of cliffs, boulders, logs and even heavy weeds. Lacking this cover, they seek shelter in deeper water. Walleye remain more active throughout the day if turbidity, wave chop or clouds reduce rightness. Walleye may suspend over deep water to feed on open-water species.
- Physical Description: The Walleye has a slender and cylindrical shaped body that ranges from dark olive brown to yellowish gold, its sides often marked with brassy flecks. The walleye is named for its large glossy white eyes, which is caused by the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer of pigment that helps the fish to see and feed at night or in turbid water. The walleye lacks spots on its dusky dorsal fin, except for a dark splotch at the rear base of the fin. The first dorsal has needle sharp spines and is separated from the second dorsal fin which is soft rayed. The walleye has teeth that are very sharp. The Walleye's tail is slightly forked and lower tip of the tail is white. The size of Walleye is greatly influenced by their environment.
