Walley Fly or Fly Jig - Need a Recipe

[mic]

I want to tie a fly or a jig for a fisherman that trolls for Walleye's in Kansas on an impoundment.  I did a internet search and not finding much.  I haven't caught a walleye in 40 years so I'm clueless.  If you have a recipe or a video, please let me know.

I suspect any baitfish or crawdad fly would work, if you were where te fish is right now, I have never been interested in Walleye but here is an article that might help- https://flylordsmag.com/fly-fishing-for-walleye-how-to/

I catch walleye on this thing nearly everytime I tie it on.    Usually early spring, up the creeks, after a good rain.   

Swivel and spinner are attached via a loop of 20# fluorocarbon.

Just don't hit yourself in the back of the head with it !   😂

Nice... do you mix colors or just this green?  What size hook and spinner?

I carry Chartreuse/White, and Black/White.    Size#4   34007-SS Mustad.  1/40oz. Lead eyes.

Originally I robbed the spinner blades and swivels from 1/16oz. Beetle Spins...... but then @fshndoug hooked me up with a whole bag full of blades, split rings, and swivels that are way better quality.     He'll have to chime in and tell ya what size they are.

Thats a good looking clouser spinner jig thingy you make there.  But I bet it is a booger to cast.

It takes an open horizontal loop, just like any other Clouser cast.   

Try to cast it like a dry fly.....and you'll get hurt   🤕

The best part about not being a good caster is most of my loops are open.  😁

I mostly use a "Belgian cast" for spoons and jigs, it keeps those things out of my hair. I'm not sure I can do an open horizontal loop with heavy stuff, I'll have to try that.

Just an elongated oval path, overhead.   Shoot line on the backside until you're ready to let it fly.......then double-haul and shoot it forward.
