The best time to catch walleye is in the first hour of daylight. When fishing for walleye, this time is known as the "golden hour." You'll get a good catch if you can be patient and wait until the weather is just right. But there is a price to pay for this time. There are lots of other times during the day when fishing is just as good. The best times to fish for walleye are in late spring and early fall. At this time of year, these fish move closer to the surface and start feeding.
