Where in the usa has walleye fishing close to as good as it is in canada in your opinion?

Lake Erie takes a back seat to no place. The major US river systems have large numbers also.

It's the remote wilderness that make Canadian fishing excellant and there is no place in the USA with that much wilderness.

The lack of responses in two plus hours should tell you something.

I honestly don't know an answer to this question.

Depends on the time of the year but Devils Lake ND & LOTW comes to mind.

ND, SD & KS. Quantity & quality. Closer, able to go more often. 40+ days on the water so far. I used to fish Canada and LOW but for what it cost to go to Canada I can take 3 or more trips closer to home. I didn't work all my life just to take a week long trip to Canada. Even if I lived closer I would still fish the states. The last few times I went to Canada with my family we were treated like criminals at the border. They can keep their fish.

Come on, do you really think that someone will actually give up their "top secret" waters.

Heck, on the Mississippi River (Pools 4 through 8) we almost have to pay the DNR to put toxic warning labels on our fish to keep the fishermen away!!!

Seriously, this last winter was excellent for walleyes (second, fourth largest ever)....this spring/summer has been a challenge because of the high water.....but, in 3 to 4 years...WATCH OUT!!

Sturgeon bay!!!!!! You can fish huge smallies during the day. Catch big pike, salmon & trout during the day, troll for giant eyes at night and let's not forget that there are huge Muskies around too that hardly anyone targets..........

Hi Thordoggydog, If your question is strictly referring to the "Fishing" I believe there are several places I.E. Lake Erie, Sturgeon Bay ect. For me the Canadian Wilderness experience is far more than just the fishing and for that reason I believe it is a place unique to itself. If I would pick a place that might come close to the total package I would agree with solopaddler and say the BWCA Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota. It is a very special and precious place. Have a great year.

Thank you,
