All Walleyes under 15.5' and over 19.5' need to be let go. The introduction of the slot limit has resulted in a very healthy Walleye population with many very large breeding females cruising the lake. There are plenty of Walleyes being caught over 20' and up to 25'. The Ontario record is 22.25lbs. Average size on most Ontario waters is between 1.5 and 3 pounds. However, it is possible to catch fish surpassing 10 pounds from most Ontario waters. Walleye prefer stained waters in the 60 to 70 degree temperature range, and prefer a hard bottom substrate that is comprised of rock and gravel.
