Apperenty the water temperature is perfect right now for these post spawn walleye, because these fish are actually starting to put up a bit of a fight. The biggest “tip” I can share with folks to improve your walleye hookup ratio is this: do not set the hook when bottom walking crawler harnesses. Just start reeling. Unfortunately I only have a few weeks of walleye left, and then it’s on to Sturgeon and possibly salmon. In addition to our walleye, we also sacrificed Many-o-worm to 15 or more rainbows we released. Mostly hard hitting 16” fish. It was a fun day for sure with my crew. I enjoyed sending them off with bags of fillets for many scrumptious meals.

I have several openings left for this fishery in the next couple of weeks. If you struggle to be a successful walleye catcher, chances are we can give you the tools needed to improve.

Tight lines and watch your backs. The snakes are getting trickier.
