Walleye Vision: Unraveling the Secrets of Lure Color for Walleye Fishing

Angling Wisdom Fishing and Angling Podcast

In this episode, we dive deep into understanding walleye vision and how it influences lure color preferences.

Drawing from an article by In-Fisherman and a study conducted by Ohio State University, we explore what walleye see and how different water conditions affect their behavior. In-Fisherman's article sheds light on walleye's color vision, revealing that they can perceive orange, red, green, and yellow, with combinations like fire tiger being particularly effective.

Meanwhile, the Ohio State study delves into how water clarity impacts lure choice, with findings indicating that walleye prefer certain colors under specific conditions.

Key takeaways include: the effectiveness of white lures in clear water, yellow and gold in sediment-filled conditions, and black and purple in algae-infested waters. We also discuss the importance of considering environmental factors, such as water temperature and seasonal changes, in optimizing fishing success.
