Walleye is a popular freshwater fish native to North America, particularly found in the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River basin. It is known for its elongated body, sharp teeth, and distinctive yellow-green coloration. Walleye typically inhabit lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, preferring areas with rocky or sandy bottoms. They are most active during dawn and dusk, making them a favorite target for anglers. Walleye are prized for their mild, flaky white meat, which is often considered a delicacy. They can grow quite large, with some individuals reaching over 30 inches in length. Due to their popularity, fishing regulations are often in place to ensure sustainable populations in various regions.
