| Show OUTDOORS The Salt Lake Tribune The walleye: a tasty fish that's tricky to catch Continued from DI It simple You can go out and buy all this weird stuff but I Just try to stick to the basics" he said Despite a perception that walleye fishing is best in the spring (it is at certain waters) the tasty fish can be caught throughout the year even through ice Anglers seeking trophy walleye head for Starvation in the fall when the big fish go into a "feeding frenzy" to prepare for the lean months of winter Because walleye are relatively new to Utah waters (they were first introduced in 1951) most anglers are not familiar with the bugeyed fish "Probably less than 5 percent of Utah's anglers fish for walleye" said Tom Pettengill sport fishing coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources "A lot of that is due to the limited number of waters they are found in and because they can be hard for the average angler to catch" lead-heade- d he can find Ito increase his chances of nimble-lippe- d walleye at Fishing Starvation Reservoir on a :recent morning for "Walters" as they ' are sometimes called got at least one angler excited when the from a fish hitting the bait traveled the line like a wake-ucall "It is probably Just a perch or maybe a smallmouth bass)" Lund said once the description of the hits reached his ears Sure enough a smalhnouth emerged from the depths with the hook in its mouth "Most oilthe time walleye Just take the bait and leave You Just notice a tug :: hooking the p by and not looking at your decoys and then to hit them with a call and turn them is what it is all "Ducks are much less forgiving" said Wel "The money is nice but the ability to make birds do something contrary to their own well being is really gratifying To have birds flying Top milers flock to Utah 1 for cash prizes world visitors to Waterfowl Weekend will have a chance to learn how they do it in a series of seminars being offered throughout the weekend about" In addition to listening to the best waterfowl callers in the are planting perch hoping to get that forage fish population bolstered before walleye return from the Sevier River Most Utah walleye anglers participate in the growing number of tournaments held each year Lund for example will be participating in the 13th annual Starvation Walleye Classic sponsored by the Duchesne County Area Chamber of Commerce this weekend Many Utah walleye anglers are also members of Rocky Mountain Anglers (IIMA) The group was created in 1989 to promote walleye as a legitimate game fish in Utah and to support future management of the species In addition to providing its annual walleye fishing clinics with the DWR each spring RMA also works on habitat improvements and offers membership muscle for projects to improve campground and facilities For information on RMA visit Because walleye are at the top of the fish food chain DWR biologists are reluctant to introduce them in too many waters In fact walleye haven't been legally planted in Utah waters since the early 1980s "They are a unique component of the fishing opportunity in Utah" Pettengill said "We have seen a history of walleye overrunning forage fish which leads to a series of cycles in walleye fisheries We see tremendous walleye fishing and then a crash until the forage fish build up again" Deer Creek Reservoir Starvation Reservoir Yuba Reservoir Willard Bay Reservoir Utah Lake and Lake Powell are the state's walleye fisheries Attention is now being paid to the Bear Rivwaller with reports of eye being caught Yuba named Sevier Bridge Reservoir on many maps was one of the hottest walleye fisheries until it was drained in 2003 for dam repairs The reservoir is filling and state officials that anglers especially beginners keep and then weight" Lund said There are many different ways to fish for walleye and anglers using them will probably catch other species Perch smalhnouth and brown trout were caught during six hours of chasing the elusive 'eyes at Starvation Most walleye anglers use the simple method ofjigging hooks with night crawlers Colors on the head of the hook can make a difference but if the bite is on the fish will take just about anything "During a tough bite having the right color really improves your chances of hooking up" Lund said "And sometimes you put anything with a worm on it and they will hit it" Trolling bottom bouncers with a spinning rig is another popular way to hook into walleye Trolling or throwing crank baits is another method that seems to be growing more popular Lund who fishes on several state walleye tournament circuits including Utah Wyoming and Idaho suggests D3 Thursday September 9 2004 :' g http:wwwrocky mountainanglerscom on the bpreityasitribcom '1 ouwatamolitaidabl4 ri joy 1 t4t—----1- bprettAsitribcom OFF 30-4- 0 -
