[QUOTE="KDM, post: 105297, member: 314"] For walleyes, GO AT NIGHT!!!! Then it's two rods. One with a #11 or #13 white husky jerk and the other with a 1/2 oz white jig head with a 5" white paddle tail plastic. That way you can work the whole water column without having to retie. Judge the current. If it is high and fast next to shore keep to the middle of the race. If it's low and slow, move toward the dam and find the current seams from the chutes that have water coming out. Low water equals poorer fishing IME, but you can still get a mixed bag of mostly trout and walleyes. Don't be surprised when you snag a freight train (paddlefish). Expect it!! Cast upstream at a 45 degree angle to start using the jig and let it sink a bit before you start to crank it in. For the crank bait, longer rods will give you some extra distance and cast straight out to start. Try a cast or two as far downstream as you can and then let some line out. This will cover as much shoreline as possible. The longer rod will help keep your crank from snagging in the rocks and out in the strike zone. Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
