Leeches on jigs in 15 ft or deeper. Leeches and slip bobbers.

You could stick a big old sinker on in front of that jointed rap and probably do just fine for walleyes trolling in the evenings, mornings, and at night. Otherwise, yeah, jigs and leeches for walleyes.

I am coming from an area with REAL fishing pressure...like south of Duluth, to the Rio Grande(actually, Okla. for me). The fish you seek have not seen fishing pressure of the lower states...however, they are aware of animals that seek THEM as food. Approach potential fishing areas quietly, drifting in, quiet lure entry, work lures as if they are nervous food fish........entry into the environment, to the flow of life, is key. When you tie on a Fluoro-vescent-octo-blulbous thang, what is your goal? When you tie on a floating minnow...quiet...curious, but WANTING to live, and eat, to just go on...living.
Fish have the IQ of a Meth Cook. Just about anything looks like food...but...they are all about environment,..
To catch the biggest fish, the winner must be the smallest fish

find cabbage beds and fish leeches on slipbobbers, plain hook and sinker or small 1/8 oz chart/green/white fireball jigs. 4-18 feet of water. 90% of fmy bwca walleye fishing is 6-15 FOW. Weed walleyes are easy to pattern with out electronics which is why I like to target weeds so much. Also look at points, choke areas and areas with current such as rivers and between islands. Slip bobbers in the eve of the campsite almost always seme to catch a few eyes.

I am bringing some friends to the BWCA for the first time,the first week in July.I was hoping for some fishing tips for this time of year had so much luck fishing a top water jointed blue and white rapala it's really the only thing I've used in the past would like to focus on some bigger northern and smallies maybe some walleye which I have never fished for. We will be around lake one
Thanks

Try trolling rapalas early and late in the day. I like rocky drop offs. Worked good for northerns and walleyes.
