Don’t Fight the Bite! Give Walleyes What They Want to Eat, Where and When They Want to Eat It! “ M I S T E R W A L L E Y E ” Gary Roach has a comforting philosophy regarding when to go fishing. You might assume it’s,“Go anytime you can!,” which is a mighty nice rule to live by. Instead, his trademark saying is,“They don’t start biting until you get there!” Roach suggests that you don’t necessarily have to be on the water at sunrise to catch walleyes.You can sleep in until a respectable hour, and still have a good chance at catching fish once you arrive at the lake. But only if you fish correctly for the conditions at the time of day, that is! And if you are versatile enough to show walleyes what they want to eat, where and when they want to eat it.
