The name, Walleye, comes from the fact that their eyes, like a cat’s, reflect light. Because of it’s unique night vision, the Walleye (Sander Vitreus), who is a real predator and carnivore, has a distinct advantage over other species of fish.
Anglers will find the best periods to fish for Walleye at dawn and dusk, as well as cloudy days. In Canada, tea-coloured lakes and streams will also produce excellent Walleye fishing.
On the territory of Wapoos Sibi, these golden-green predators live in great numbers and will readily take lures, baits and flies. We find the Walleye in the largest lake of Wapoos Sibi as well as in two pristine crystal clear lakes on the territory. These two lakes contain Walleye with a unique bright golden colour that can grow as large as 15 – 20 pounds.
