Average Ontario Anglers

Walleye 101


Listen Later

In this episode Andrew and Jesse sit down with fishing guide Brian Johnston for a deep dive into the essentials of successful walleye fishing in Ontario and focusing on the Halliburton area.  

Brian shares his journey in the fishing world and offers practical advice for anglers of all skill levels. The conversation covers key topics like how weather impacts fish behavior, how to choose the right rod, reel, and tackle for different scenarios, and why understanding water structure can make or break your day on the water.

The group also discusses the value of using electronics, how to avoid common mistakes, and why confidence and technique often matter more than the gear you’re using. This is a great listen for anyone who wants to better understand walleye—and how to catch more of them!
