Fishing For Walleye on the Delaware River

Walleye fishing on the Delaware is for the skilled angler. Generally fished for at night, these beautiful fish are the gamiest fish that swim the river. Walleye are found in the deep eddies and areas near deep water. Fishing for them is best in the fall months but can be caught year round. Fishing a few feet off the bottom with jigheads armed with 3" Mister Twisters in the summer months and live bait in the fall is the most popular method. Location is key as with any sportfish on the river. The deep waters of the Delaware Water Gap are a popular area for fall walleye fishing. During this time many large fish are taken.
