Walleye are a fresh water fish native to Canada and the Northern United States and are widely spread out in Michigan. Other names for walleye are yellow pike, walleyed pike, and pickerel. In Michigan you can find them in small inland lakes, the larger great lakes, and in the river systems. They are known in Michigan as one of the best game fish and they can be a sport fish through-out the year. You can catch walleye on Michigan lakes in the summer and spring, in Michigan rivers in the fall, and on frozen Michigan lakes in the winter through the ice. They are also known as one of the best white meat table fare in Michigan.
