Heading down to Stockton next week for some walleye hunting with father and son and it will be our first time on the lake. We are hooked up with a guide for a couple of days. Hope the weather holds out so we can actually get more than a little fishing done.

What is the status of walleye spawn/fishing (would guess it is pre or just starting the spawn) ?

Any suggested lures/colors ?

Any other suggestions ?

great idea using a guide will probably have a good time and catch fish. walleye are probably still spawning in some parts of the lake due to cold water this year. as far as tackle light rods and line and the guide will be who to follow on lures.

Always good to start with a guide, that's what we did our first time walleye fishing at Stockton. Since then we are pretty consistent about catching them. Trying to remember our guides name, do remember we fished out a Skeeter multi-species boat. That was 2007 or 08. Gosh, what was his name, nice guy.

Will be headed down there on the 12th. Let us know where you fished, ie, points, drop-offs, etc. Depths.

Suggestions for lures: flicker shad, new flicker minnows in various sizes and colors. Caught a lot on those and Cablela's reef-runners.

Three-way with crawler or crankbait (minnow style seems to work better for me) trolled along at about 1 mph.

not sure about next week but they are catching eyes at the dam on jerk baits. if you go up the river i like keying on channel breaks leading off the flats. bluebird sky and or clear water i throw the 110 jerker in pro blue, cloudy and or stained water i like the mc stick in table rock shad or any jerker in a bone color.

You nailed it. In the last two weeks I have been twice. Three nice keeper walleye on each trip with a few throwbacks, and the bass will keep it interesting 3/4 way back into the coves. Things may have changed, but most points around the dam area should still be producing especially after 6 p.m. All on bone color.

Jig with crawler. Ive caught eyes in several states this way, including Stockton. It should be a productive time when your down. Good luck.

Kramr...Sounds like JR Oldhams boat.

Could be, looked for his website which seems to be down or no longer in use. Did find a couple of videos of him. Very well could be him. When he guided us he used lead line and flicker shad.
