Walleye is considered a northern gamefish, but our Game Department has successfully introduced them into Lake Orange, which has become one of the top walleye fisheries in the state.
Lake Orange is a rich lake, teeming with shad and small food fish and – one of the walleye’s favorite meals – yellow perch.
The picture above confirms the success of the Department Fisheries experts as knowledgeable fisherman are using harness rigs baited with live crawlers to entice strikes and catch limits. At Lake Orange, you might catch a cooler of big bluegills, you might come home with a long stringer of crappie, perhaps some fat channel cats or maybe even a largemouth bass over 10 pounds. And, yes, walleye, too.
