While on a recent trip to Spirit Lake, Iowa I caught my biggest walleye on a fly to date. It's no monster but then I've only caught about 6 ranging in size from fingerling to this one.Walleye.jpg187.jpg

nice walleye. what where you using for flies? I've tried a few times around the Storm lake area with no luck.

I used a clouser patter to which I attached a spinner ahead of the eyes to make it look like a fly rod version of a Roadrunner jig. I've caught most of my walleye on this pattern and have also successfully used it for spring bass.
I bet that was FUN!

interesting clouser variation. but if it works, that's all the counts. nice job.
