The river's main channel is roaring with dam gates open up and down the Wisconsin River, making the normal placid river a fisherman's nightmare. The water flowing has rejuvenated the whole river system. I'm swimming my jig fast enough to just tic bottom occasionally. Dragging a Jig here would result in constant snags and breakoffs, hense reel fast enough to prevent getting constantly caught. Occasionally, I lift the jig and lot it fall.
Hits usually come on the fall.
The coffee color blends beautifully with the stained water. The 10 lb. test East Cast allows you to pull out of most of your snags. if I used 6 lb. I constantly change Jigs and tail colors, until I find what the fish want. The walleyes are in the shallows to get out of the strong current flow, to eat since the baitfish have moved into the brush cover and finally they're looking for a place to drop their eggs. You can anchor outside these wooded areas, or use a push pole to get back into the timber, or you can wade making short casts right into little pockets and openings.
