Hot walleye action on channel edges right now for numbers and trophy sized walleye right now. Key is to find brush on the edges and spotlock right on top. Set deadstick rods 6" to a foot off bottom with 1/4 ounce H20 jigs and magnum sized fatheads. Then with another rod (I like a St.Croix Eyecon Snap Jig rod) cast a 1/4 ounce BFishN Tackle Draggin Jig with fathead. This is a very snag free jig that is extremely effective in brush on rivers and flowages across the MidWest!

Me and my friends went up February 13-15, found walleyes on the steep breaks of the original river channel in about 22-25 feet of water. The bigger walleyes came on dead sticks and small rippin raps. Fishing should heat up as ice-out approaches

Prior to noon the walleye were up shallow between 8-10 ft and then moved into the 18-22 ft depth in the afternoon. Both dead stick and jigging was effective. Lots of great eater size came through.

Walleye were on mud humps. Caught them on tipups as well as jigging spoons. Fish were finnicky and really had to finesse them while jigging in order to get them to bite. Definitely a hard bite window.
