Walleye on the Fly

[AshLee Moncur]

Going after Walleye this weekend in south east Idaho.

They like an extrrrremely slow retrieve right on the bottom in my experience.

Not allot of walleye around here…but I’ve caught a few up north while fishing clousers in the froth below small river dams.

SINKING LINE!

Leach or baitfish or craw patterns work best.

[Justin Witt]

I agree with Neal; you’ve got to find the fish, then fish over them.

[B.R. Snow]

Walleye are predators, streamers will work fine if you find them on the weed beds. They are easy then. However you need to figure out what they are feeding on and present in that fashion. BR

I appreciate the advice.

AshLee –

How deep is the reservoir you’re talking about fishing?

[Jeff Smith]

I don’t generally fish walleye in stillwaters. My favourite haunt is in rivers. Streamers tied with marabou and Flash-a-bou in colours similar to popular spinners/spoons etc work great. Think 5 of Diamonds, Red Devils that sort of stuff. Chartreruse/black with a silver body or silver Krystal Flash in the wing is cool too. Natural colour Clousers are very effective as are crawfish patterns. I have also taken them on big dragonfly nymphs on occassion. Floating line in about 4-6 feet of water, esp around the tail or mouth of a run or pool is great. I have also taken them in the base pool of dams. Loads of fun and good eatin too!

I appreciated all the Walleye advice. Probably no suprise but we did not hook into any.
