My Walleye on the Fly
Monday, June 21st, 2010My Walleye on the Fly. I didn’t want to waste the beautiful weather so I drove up to a local spillway to do a little carp fishing. I only saw two, both out in the faster current which makes presenting a fly tough so I decided to see if I could find anything closer to the dam that was willing to eat. I looked through the boxes I had with me, tied on a size 2 chartreuse/white clouser and started casting. The spots I usually catch crappie at produced nothing so I moved a little closer to the dam. During my first retrieve in the new spot I thought I snagged up on a rock until the snag started shaking and I pulled in my first ever walleye on a fly. Nothing too big, but it was fun and it’s always nice to add another species to the catch list. 
Caught another one a little smaller, then a smallish crappie:

I caught three walleye and three small crappie that were absolutely inhaling the big closer. Nice to get out for the afternoon, hopefully all the fathers out there had a good day as well.
