MaxDrown Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I'm looking for a couple of suggestions on effective flies for fly fishing for walleye in late Feb. early Mar. I'll either tie them if they're easy enough or buy them. -- Max Drown
Flysmallie Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 The only fly I have ever seen a walleye eat is a wiggle minnow. dprice, dan hufferd and blacknoseddace 3
MaxDrown Posted February 6, 2017 Author Posted February 6, 2017 I'm looking for sub-surface flies most likely. -- Max Drown
snagged in outlet 3 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I've caught them on a chartreuse and white clouser trythisonemv and MaxDrown 2
trythisonemv Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I've seen them take red jigsand rooster tails as well
blacknoseddace Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 A lot of Walleyes have been caught on Clouser Minnows because they are a lot like jigs, and lots of Walleyes are caught on jigs. The picture I enclosed shows some flies I catch a lot of Bass on in Stockton, and I plan on trying these for walleyes as well when conditions are right with a sinking or sink tip line in the next couple months. The hook size is 2/0 and they are weighted so the fly fishes hook point facing up. I have caught Hybrids below Truman Dam from a boat on these as well. They are called Puglisi Flies and they catch pretty much everything. You might give them a try. Please post if you catch some Walleyes on flies. Good luck! Walleyedmike, dprice and Hammer time 3

snagged in outlet 3 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I tied and used puglisi flies when I first saw the material. 8-10 years ago? Never had any luck but it could have been to due other variables. It's easy work with and those look awesome. I tied some with white and silver for shad flies. I googled wiggle minnow and it looks like an old lure used for trout years ago but I can't recall the name. Looks like it might work for hybrids too!!
blacknoseddace Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I googled the Wiggle Minnow too and now I will use some of the foam cylinders I have stashed away. . Looks like a great pattern.
