When you are fishing for walleye the weather has the most influence where walleyes will be located and how active they will be feeding.For example if it is a warm and sunny day walleyes will head for deeper waters or underwater structure to stay cool, and shield their light sensitive eyes. If it is a nice sunny day with very little wind, do your fishing for walleye in deep water, in the thick weed beds or at underwater structure points because the surface water will be much to warm.
If when you get out on the water the sun is bright overhead but there is a good wave chop, you will find walleye anywhere. The waves cool and turn the water and they redirect the suns rays. One of the very best times to catch your walleye limit is right before a storm when the sky is dark and overcast and the waves are active. Walleyes tend to become very aggressive at these times. Just remember that the walleye species is sometime very unpredictable, but using the weather conditions to pin point a good starting point to fish is an excellent idea.
The weather is just one indicator when you are trying to locate walleye. It is by no means always 100%. You should still use your GPS fishing finder also. But if you use these two methods to put you on fish you can save time and increase your chances of getting your walleye catch limit. But remember the walleye species may surprise you . Do not depend 100% on these two walleye fishing indicators to put you on fish. Identify some other water areas if these indicators fail. Like I have said walleye can be very finicky and unpredictable fish at times. I think this one of the reasons they are one of the most sought after game fish.

Normally, walleye will move closer to shore when the water temperature drops in the cooler months. The fish then start to move to deeper water and structured areas as the water temperature starts to rise. But this not always true, I have done my walleye fishing close to shore and caught fish in the dead heat of mid summer. Use the weather conditions and the changing seasons as indicators to put you on fish but be prepared to experiment if you don’t want to go home empty handed.
