Although found throughout Canada in a variety of environments, Walleye are most prevalent in large, shallow lakes with cloudy waters, and large rivers or streams that provide sufficient protection from harsh light. Walleye are known to seek out shelter in shoals, logs, weed beds or snow and ice to shield them from the sun.
As their name indicates, Walleye have a special layer in the retina which makes their eyes extremely sensitive to light.
Also for this reason, Walleye rest close to the bottom in clear waters throughout the day, and feed from top to bottom at evening and through the night. In murkier waters, their preferred habitat, Walleye feed along the bottom throughout the day.
