Walleye On Little Sac Arm

[Will croskey]

I have been fishing for several years every spring at Orleans and Taylor bridge when the whites are running and have fished for walleye when they run up the river also but to no success I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to catch them and on what I have only caught two in my entire life and would like to change that any help will be greatly appreciated thanks

I'd love to help you out, but I'm needing the same tips.

I haven't fished for Walleye there for years, but I did catch a few on jerkbaits. I casted cross current and created lots of flash while jerking but not too fast on the retrieve. This was 25 years ago and the jerkbait was a Rebel with blue back. Should still work. Jigs will work too.

Depending on the weather, but they should be getting close to making their usual pre spawn movements. A stick bait right before and after dark around the dam area later this month may prove productive.

if you are in a boat, i always just troll a buck tail jig upstream

How do you rig the stick bait

I only know the river walleye in my area usually only bite a bait coming with the current very rarely do I catch one pulling it up the river. Crankbaits work for me

In the river, fish the deep holes with small jigs on or near bottom S L O W (tip with a night crawler and it will work better). Small means 1.5 to 2 inch max. Jig needs a little purple in the hair. I have never just hammered them in one spot. Fish hole to hole. Usually there are a few fish in each hole, most are small males but have caught them in the LS up to 5 lbs in March and April. I usually catch them on a 3 wt fly rod with intermediate clear sinking line and 8 lb floro tippet, but a spinning rig would work too. Just need to figure out how to keep a small jig close to the bottom in current with a spin rig.

I hear that a jerk bait near the dam works if you have a boat, but I usually fish the river.
