Hey Guys,

We had an exceptional spring catching walleye while wading and I was wondering if anyone has tried in the fall. I know some of the bigger walleye will come up shallow and gorge themselves before it gets "real cold", but wondered if anyone has had any luck with this technique and if you do anything different than in the spring.

Thanks

Oh...I guess I forgot to mention, I am speaking of Pyme...

YES,wading in fall is very productive, early to late evening,,,,try below dam also,always good thru fall

i use rapala countdowns in vartous sizes and colors,,,,my option
 

How far below the dam? I was there a couple of years ago in the spring and people were catching them down from the walking bridge. I fish there in the summer but only get panfish.

actually from main dam downstream,,below small spillover is good,, i prefer crossing walk bridge and fish that side of stream,better drift,,,fish as far down as you desire,,a few good holes,,i have fished that section downstream as far as greenville,all good,,,fall is here,walleye will start showing up...

Anyone doing any good wading?

Heading up Friday afternoon and fishing till 8 or 9. We will be wading, any suggestions?

The waters up some at 2100 and just guessing by the amount of rain in the past week probably has some color to it too. When you get back post how you did. I was planning on going up this weekend but decided to go up next weekend instead.

Well we hit the river at pyme from about 2-430 yesterday afternoon. One 2 foot carp and a couple keeper crappie is all we had to show for our efforts. We moved up to the lake after that and did some wading. We managed two keeper walleye and a big smalmouth, all 18", even the smally. We got him on a yellow twister tail and the eyes on a 4" grandma lure in charteuese. All 3 fish were caught within 10 minutes of each other. It was like they turned on a switch and flipped it back off. Caught them 20 min after sunset.

Oh yea..the walleye were full of 3" shad.
