Q. I am looking for key points or current seams that hold walleye this time of year with the high water.
You and a million other guys I’m afraid.
Staying closer to the tail water areas and looking for the shore line seams is a good place to start. Not all walleyes and saugers spawn at the dams of course but if you want numbers and a good place to get bit then the head end of the pools is a good place to put the boat in
A good rod or two with 6-8lb. superline on at least one can turn a novice into a good stick in short order. Flouro or mono on the other set up and you are good to go.
Stay as light as you can with your jigs and blades and don’t get married to one bait or color. Switch it up, move around and don’t be afraid to anchor up on occasion. Be considerate of others when tossing the anchor though, not good practice in a community hole but if you have a seam to yourself then it’s a great way to relax and really learn about your equiptment and the area you are pitching.
Best of luck to ya and play it safe in the flood conditions. Remember, walleyes don’t like the heavy, fast current any more than we do. Set your sights on that and you should be in the ball park for some bites
