Thanks. I believe I use something similar when I am ice fishing. Thanks for the respones. Have a good one.

James, If you have a few extra minutes some time To post a note telling a few of the stories that you were told I would be extreamly interested in reading your post.

Thanks for the pool 9 post, nice to get some info on the pool. I am going to sound Like a greenhorn here, but what are tubes? And where can I get some ringworms? One more, where is hutchs shop in prairie, I would happily buy my supplies from a fellow FTR man. Thanks for the info. Good luck.

Sorry about the censored word, I did not think it was very unapproporate. I have been working so much this year I was just so excited to be able to be out at all. For a monent I allowed them to ruin my day, but quickly decided that it was just not worth it. I have a question pertaining to Beavers response. Ill be honest that I was going out to try and get some fish on the table and the nice saugers that I kept I did have two that had a good groupe of eggs. I did feel bad. I always do when I see eggs in a fish I take home to eat. Are there signs that I can look for in a walleye, sauger, that are tale-tell signs that they are full of eggs? Well thanks for all the good response, I feel good that there are others that overlook the goofey people. Good luck all. GO RAMS!!! I would change my favorite team if there was a “Minnesota walleyes”, or “Green Bay Saugers”, and possibly even a “Chicago Carp”,,,,

I agree with waterfowler this is a cool site. Thaks everyone, like waterfowler said in a few minutes, even though I have not applied these techniques yet, I am really excited to get back to the river to try all of the great tips. Just one more question run-on question if you dont mind. Are these techniques good to work walleyes with most of the year, or is it a seasonal technique? I assume it is good all year after ice-out and up to freeze up because there are wing dams usually considerably close to the dams. Thanks everyone! Wish you all the best of luck.

Awesome info on casting cranks, and working wingdams. Thank you all for the good info and the time you all spend on responding to posts of mine and others. This might sound odd but one of the first things I do after 10 to 12 hrs of construction work , family time and shower, is to come to this site. I really enjoy the information provided….I have almost become obsessed with the info, to the point of having a running binder folder of all of the info that applies to me and it is in my dry box in my boat for reference….a little odd huh..:) But anyway I really enjoy the info…I can tell you though..pool 10 has been tough this year(for me anyways), and over the last year coming to this site I think I am even more frustrated with my fishing because I know soooo much more and have not really had a GOOD day out yet….What keeps my rods in the boat though is the challenge that walleyes present. I do not mean to diss any other species of fish, but I truly pride myself on trying to become a good walleye fisherman, it is a journey for me that is very rewarding. I have just a few questions..1) for stillakid2- when you say you cast across a tributary, is it best to work across instead of casting down current and retrieve up curretn, does this apply to wingdams also, to cast parrallel with the dam instead of up and over the dam to the anchored boat above the dam?

2) So I do not necessarily have to be on the bottom to get a walleye strike?

3)Kwikstik- when I look at a wingdam the slack water(calm) is actually where the location of the dam is…correct. Do you normally get just above this slack/calm looking water? And then cast parallel with the dam?

4)Rooster- I have an x85 lowrance Do you actually see fish on the wingdams..I have seem very few true archs. What do you see? I remember one of the posts explaining that in a river I may see more of a defined line coming up from bottom, I do see this often.

5) Randyk- I have been told the chartruce color is generally the best, do you guys have better luck with the crawdad colors?

Well again thanks all, illl be excited to get to the river again…Good luck fishing!

And yes jigger2001 “nothing” is the answer..:)
