[QUOTE="wildeyes, post: 162258, member: 452"] Pre- spawn is such a short window doesnt last long on the mo. Small jigs with minnows shallow with deep water close little to no current at this time,spawn thank god they all dont do this at the same time. lots of males. post spawn game on. Over the years i would fish jigs/ minnows from ice out to post spawn now i will pull cranks as soon as i get on the water. I look at water temp to give me a general idea where the fish are in the spawn cycle and if it drops alot (because of a rain or snow) give me a starting point to find fish. I like it when the dam is releasing water to the point of raising water, it seem to bring the bait fish and fish up the river farther. years ago would follow the big fish all the way to the dam but after the flood screwed that up a bit. I noticed last year there was some normal to this migration and will be doing that again. I dont know about u-all but there is something special about being on the river early in the year, the world around you is on mission and the wildlife is coming alive. love it. [/QUOTE]
