Greetings. For a mid-June trip, can anyone recommend a depth for diving Raps and the like for walleye and/or bass? I’ve not fished the B-dub enough to have any idea or data on fish behavior patterns, water temps, etc. The only thing I know for sure is that the water will be pretty cold in June, but likely warming up fast.

Thanks!

SR7 Shad Rap will get you where you need to be in my experience. My favorite lure for that time is a lipless crank bait. Always my first lure tied on from camp.

By mid-June, water temps will be warm and walleyes will be headed toward deeper water. Walleyes will be beyond post-spawn doldrums and eager to eat. But not quite ready to be chasing crank baits. A slow- trolled crawler harness or leech under a slip-bobber can attract many walleye.
