A few years ago we entered the week of July 4th and all of our leeches died on the portage in (out of Angleworm- what a doozy). We each brought 3 or 4 small baggies of plastics. We did quite well. The three I listed here were our top performers by a landslide. |

Cast perpendicular to mild current or slightly upstream. Retrieve just fast enough to stay off bottom. Bottom contact is ok, but dont rest. If current is extremely slow, cast more down stream to find the right pace. Best locations are near changes in structure: outlets, small water into big, shallow to deep, etc. Bonus points when wind blows opposite to current. |

The most important thing is to be in the right places at the right times. |

The moxi and pulse-r are very good options |

I used ONLY gulp minnows with jig heads and a couple white simple twister tails with jig heads last time. That worked decent... mostly gulp minnows. Then we trolled simple crankbaits along the shore and picked up a few more here and there. Didn't slay the walleye like I had hoped, but was content. Anything I am obviously missing? I don't want to take tons of tackle. I have scaled back over the years, but STILL take quite a bit. I broke off a few crankbaits trolling when they get stuck on rocks or whatever so I take a couple extra in my clothes bag that stay in the tent until needed. Thanks, just dreaming about my trip from my keyboard. |

Z-Mann finesse I've done good with GULP minnows as well. T |
