[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 350301, member: 330"] Got stationed at Minot. Read about walleye with some experience from the Tygart Lake tailwaters in the Hills; still learning from modified L/SMB techniques. Can hold my own without trolling IE (see Mic's Darling thread): The walleye "drop shot" vid on here didn't need to use live crawlers. IMHO all fish within reason can be caught with bass tactics. The closer I am to actual "bass tactics" when landing another species the more satisfied I am. Bass tactics are innately "clean" and efficient. My next stunt is trying to get a brown trout in the Hills on a weightless Texas rigged Zoom Trick Worm. I want to see if a trout will hold and eat the plastic like a bass, etc: It's pretty much the same retrieve as the Darling ShadRap but starting from as close to the bottom as possible and slower with the same aggressive low rod tip "sweeping". (Don't set the hook too soon. Let it run a bit. In current I suppose this would entail pointing the rod upstream after perceiving a strike--always watch your slack line). This could be a killer from the blocks at the Tailrace for everything. IDK: My first choice for tackle would be a fast/ML 7'6in rod and the reel spooled with 4/15 braid which is not in my current arsenal.
