    As the dry weather ensues in the Heartland, and having a doe tag filled, I took off the last couple nights pursuing my favorite predatory fish, the walleye. The interior rivers are low from the drought, and the sky’s are dusty from harvest, but the bite has been picking up. Lots of eaters and some decent fish being caught. Areas to target have been feeder creek mouths where bait fish are congregating. Weapon of choice has been a 1/16th oz bucktail with a super small fluke as a backer. Working it slow in shallow water and the walleye have been pouncing on it. I’ve been fishing after work and the nicer fish are coming right at and after dark. Gonna be hunting again this weekend, but if you have a pocket of jigs and a pole, get out there and give it a go. Dark and natural colors have been on my menu so far.
