WHERE ARE YOU WALLEYE??

I've read through all the fishing posts concerning missing fishes but I've just spent the past 4 hours trying to find the freaking Walleye fish to finish my bundle. I'm currently in winter and I've tried fishing in the snow in the lake, river, and forest pond from afternoon all the way until 2am and I've found zilch... I've seen people on the forums say that they found them in Fall but aren't they supposed to be in Winter too? I feel like this fish shouldnt be that rare and that I'm doing something wrong.
Does anyone know what's going on here??

 

My guess is you're just getting extremely (somehow) unlucky.

Walleye is a Fall/Winter fish yes, so you can catch it in either. My suggestion would be to go to the River outside of Leah's house at night with rain/snow and stick to it there.

 

Same thing here BrokenChopstix...

I've spent ALL the rainy/snowy days of Fall AND Winter fishing from 9:00 AM to 2:00 AM.....caught probably about 100 of each fish species in lakes, rivers....every place the walleye can spawn according to living off the land I've fished for a FEW NIGHTS EACH, yet I can't get a walleye.

I've seen this fish ONCE before in the game (early first year), and I sold it since I did not have the grasp on the community center bundles at the time, and have NOT SEEN A SINGLE WALLEYE SINCE.

Sorry for caps, but I'd like ConcernedApe to see this and maybe either adjust the spawn rate or take a look to see if there's a possible bug where this specific fish stops spawning?

Thanks,
Loial

 

Just started fall year 3 and about to start to try and find it. All I need is 3 apples and walley and I've completed com center. Fingers crosssed

 

Good luck lupedid!

 

It spawns only at night when it's raining and only in the fall.

 

Fall, night, rain, outside Leah's house. Caught two in one night, once hooked thy're easy to reel in.

 

I'll have to try again once it's Fall and raining, because I just spent two nights when it was snowing outside of Leah's house and nada...

 

It may only be in the fall then because i've spent all winter and absolutely nothing...

 

Walleye are a completely annoying fish that like to not show up for years and then you get two in a row - true story.

 

I had the same issue with sardines. All I needed one one flipping sardine. The easiest fish to find! Available all year round in the ocean, very high rate of appearing.... I made off with 8 pufferfish before the stupid thing showed its head >_<
