The week you'll be here is about the peak for jigging for walleyes, so be sure to take the advice previous and pick up bucktail jigs. Purple, pink seem to work best for us. When you get tired and want to kick back in that lawn chair and enjoy the day, then switch to drifting or trolling with bottom bouncers and harnesses. You'll get the bigger fish this way. Lot of 24-inchers this way last year. Chartreuse blades (#4 or #5), along with gold blades, pink/white blades, or firetiger blades seem to work best for us. String on a good 'ole nightcrawler on the harness, use a heavy enough bouncer to stay in contact with the bottom on your drift, kick back and wait for the rod to crank over.


You'll love this area. I've lived here 15 years and wouldn't trade this fishing life for the world!
