Low light hours call for cranking. As expected, points, bays, and emerging weed flats. Weeds get top billing because of the current spottail shiner invasion the spots, as well as other fishes, are feasting on a weed-oriented midge fly hatch. You might know midge as the mosquito-looking critters commonly known as lake flies that don t sting, but linger around your head in bothersome clouds. Here, walleyes, mostly males mixed with a few bigger females, are working low growing weeds in 10 to 16-feet of water.
Onshore breezes are key.
I ve been yanking fish from 6 to 8-feet of water, tight to shore, and primarily with crankbaits. Larger female fish are clinging to boulder zones in 5 to 8-feet, especially under gusts. For volumes, slide out into 10 to 14-feet. It looks like a parking lot, but for good reason. Minor ledges in 10 to 12-feet translate into fillets.
