Generally, people tend to say that fishing is better in shallow areas with structure for walleyes. Wondering if anyone has tried lindy rigs in the spring for deeper water for walleyes? When I say spring, I mean early June - ish.

Personally I never use Lindy rigs in the BWCA most places are just to rocky, I tend to stick with a jig and a leech or plain hook, split shot and leech, under a slip bobber.

True... that makes a lot of sense. I'll definitely be doing jig and leech with a slip bobber. However, I might try it anyway and see how it goes. Lindy makes these snag-resistant weights that has seemed to work really well for me. They're like a banana shaped weight that is made to drag over rocky areas easier. Might get me some monsters that way!

What about a plain gold aberdeen with a split shot?

Anyone use floating jig heads?

I have used lindy rigs a bit. Nice if you are in an area with fish, but you don't know where. I have used the with and without a blade. I have also used them casting with a floating jig head on the end instead of a hook. Slow retrieve to keep it from hanging up in rocks. Works well, especially near moving water.
