Hot water temps and bright light are going to push Walleye deep, so targeting mid-lake structure like Holes and the Saddles of Humps are a go to on small to mid-sized lakes. On larger bodies of water trolling over Reefs and Flats are good options.

What is the best way to catch a walleye?

Walleye lures such as crankbaits and soft plastics are a staple among the walleye elite. I recommend starting out with live bait, either jigging or rigging, to get your hands on some fish first. If live bait is not readily available or you're set on targeting trophies, then lures are the way to go.
