Word, word, word… definition… a remark or piece of information.

I did not bear the cold, but part of our team did. Pictured here Richard Lee Rusher and some friends went out and scouted the waters. Looks to have done well in my book.

Walleye are creeping up the river. Coming from Table Rock Lake up to the shallows of the Beavertail water to spawn. Walleye are highly nocturnal, nighttime or low light predators with high feeding activity in the dawn and dusk or at night, and on low light days.

As such, anglers fish for them in those times to maximize their chances. They can be caught at any time but those are the primary times if you only have a short time to fish for them you should concentrate your efforts on this time period.

The “Word” is crank and stick baits in colors of silver/ black/blue, orange/black anything natural looking. Other great methods are nightcrawlers and jig and a minnow. I plan to catch one on a fly rod this year. Go to flies to use are heavy clouser minnows in white and chartreuse or orange and white.  

This is going to happen in the coming months. So, get used to seeing great pictures of walleye for the next few weeks. Next week are my scouting days so hoping my picture will be in here next week.
