    Bowstring is a good lake and these are the spots that usually produce for me. For walleyes we use minnows, leeches or crawlers, about three feet from the bottom with a floating jig head (Phelps Floaters or just a hook, colored hooks such as pink are hot). I have caught them in deep as 20 feet. The northerns love white spinner baits and for crappies use a small pink jig head with a white twister tail with a piece of crawler if needed along with a bobber. Trolling crank baits silver/blue, perch colored, crawdad color, and fire tiger work great size no. 7. Good Luck!!! Post a report when you get back.

    Latest report from outdoornews.com — Look for walleyes on Bowstring Lake in nine feet of water. I have caught them in deep as 20 feet.
