Fish were coming up river early with the unusually warm spring. With the low water the up run is fishing a lot like the down run, with a lot of walleyes utilizing the main river channel to migrate up river. You can anchor on either the first break off the main channel or the flat between the main river channel and bank, casting to both the flat and main channel, jigging the bait from a 45 degree cast to the side to behind the boat, and repeat. Guys are catching them drifting too, but anchoring has been good as well with the persistent wind we have had.
