"Walleye chop" is a term used by walleye anglers for rough water typically with winds of 10 to 25 km/h (6 to 16 mph), and is one of the indicators for good walleye fishing due to the walleyes' increased feeding activity during such conditions. In addition to fishing this chop, night fishing with live bait can be very effective.
In springtime walleye will take almost any bait or lure, but may be more challenging to catch through the summer months because forage like mayflies or minnows are abundant. Fall often brings another peak of walleye feeding activity. [citation needed] Walleye are readily caught through the ice in winter, usually on jigs, jigging spoons or minnows.
The blue walleye was long considered to be different from the yellow walleye. [1] Based on morphological study, Carl Leavitt Hubbs declared the blue walleye to be a separate species in 1926. [2] The species was later downgraded to a subspecies. [3] The blue walleye was a commercially valuable fish in the Great Lakes.
The walleye epidermal hyperplasia viruses are two species of retroviruses classified under Epsilonretrovirus, a genus in the family of Retroviridae. [1] There are three genome sequenced and identified exogenous retroviruses of this genus which include two known types ( WEHV-1 and WEHV-2 ) associated with walleye epidermal hyperplasia disease.

Eyeshine allows fish to see well in low-light conditions as well as in turbid (stained or rough, breaking) waters, giving them an advantage over their prey. This enhanced vision allows fish to populate the deeper regions in the ocean or a lake. In particular, freshwater walleye are so named because their eyeshine. [70]
