William Paciski 0If the water is coming down the dam top go home as it is warm water and no walleye if it blowing out the bottom fish a minnow and jig
-
Josh Popp 0No problem. Good luck out there
-
James Tiernan 0Alright, appreciate all the help Josh, will keep this in mind while I'm out there.

Josh Popp 0Depends on the water clarity. It's really clear all Todd something more neutral if it's murky I'll go with bright but I usually just explore till I get ...more a bite. Twister tails and crawlers work good as well
-
James Tiernan 0Thank you Josh, another question would be should I be starting out tossing vibrant color baits like chartreuse or more natural ones at first?
-
Josh Popp 0Toss a swim bait on a jig and cast up stream and let it bounce along the bottom. Might take a couple cast to match the right weight jig with the current
