They sometimes go near vegetation but not into it.Walleyes typically spawn when water temperatures reach 40 to 50 degrees farenheit in late winter to early spring. Adults 3-5 years of age will migrate mostly to tributary streams where they will nest in sand, gravel or rock.
Walleye will feed mostly on smaller fish from the time they are born as well as when they grow to monster size. They have also been known to eat crayfish, minnows, leeches, and earthworms. They tend to feed mostly at dawn and dusk. Walleye fishing also tends to be better when the water is choppy because less light penetrates the surface of the water.
