There are lakes and rivers in California that support walleye, but most don't. This is because the walleye needs deeper reservoirs, lakes and rivers to protect their sensitive eyes. Also, walleyes prefer and thrive in certain bottom compositions such as rock, silt and gravel. California lakes are much more suited for fish like largemouth bass.
Actually, the reason is much more likely the fact that the California Department of Fish and Game has banned the introduction of walleye into California waters out of fear that they will prey on native species. All states surrounding California have some walleye fishing including OR, NV, and AZ. It is likely that walleye would do quite well in a number of the foothill or northern California lakes. This attitude by CA Fish and Game is confusing since black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) are also non-native and prey on native species.

How does a thunderstorm affect walleye fishing?
Thunderstorms can disrupt walleye fishing by causing fish to become less active or move to deeper waters for safety. Lightning poses a safety risk, so anglers should seek shelter when thunderstorms are nearby. Additionally, rapidly changing weather conditions can make fishing more challenging due to changes in barometric pressure and water temperature.
