What makes walleyes masters of low light, why do they seemingly vanish from some lakes but thrive in others, and what really drives their boom-and-bust cycles? In this eye-opening episode of Doc Talks Fishing, we sit down with fisheries scientist Paul Radomski, author of Walleye: A Beautiful Fish of the Dark to dive deep into the fascinating science behind one of North America's most enigmatic gamefish. Discover why walleye are negatively phototactic, how their behavior shifts between lakes, and which

"old wives' tales" about them are true-or not.

Whether you're chasing trophies on a prairie basin or dialling in a bite on a Shield lake, this episode is packed with cutting-edge science and real-world strategies that will help you catch more —and bigger-walleyes. Tune in and let the science give you the edge.
