If you are going to attempt casting in the central basin, I would start by trolling first to locate them, and then switch. Otherwise, it might take you forever to get them dialed in. You can also drift for them with the right wind conditions.

If you are just looking to catch fish casting, you can go into LSC and cast for smallies during July and August. I do well on top-water baits early in the day, and then switch to other stuff. Cranks, spy-baits, swim-baits, etc. Last August, when they reopened the border, we were getting limits of keeper walleyes along with some giant sheep & some bonus muskies jigging in the upper D-River. We didn't get any large walleyes, but the action was great and the sheep will make your wrists sore fighting them Couple Questions if someone could help.-giant-sheep_aug_2022-jpg.
