I’ve been heading to the big rivers and doing some night wading with a friend who fishes these warm water rivers with spinning gear for bass and walleye. This time of year when the weather gets cold the walleye are usually pretty active. I took an 8 weight with a short leader and a floating line, and slow worked small baitfish flies through the drop offs and seams. This was the biggest of the night – 28” and 7 pounds. Lots of 14-18” fish in the mix. My friend was fishing swim baits and husky jerks, and my streamers were out fishing him 2 – 1.
It’s a good break from trout. They don’t fight nearly as hard but they make up for it in their bite.
