Walleye on the fly!

Fly-Boy-Wray · 09-04-2008, 09:40 PM

I caught my first Walleye for the year tonight and it was on a fly rod. I caught up with Scott tonight and hit Wehrspann for about 2 hours. There was no one pattern that work well tonight but, my best producers where the Hammer, and this Olive Bead head nymph that you see in the pic.

I am pretty sure that isnt a walleye thats a saugeye.

danager · 09-04-2008, 10:10 PM

Are there saugeye in W?

lakebigmacfisher · 09-04-2008, 10:16 PM

apparently, it has every color and look of a saugeye

**buglem** · 09-04-2008, 10:26 PM

Nice eye! Beautiful night out tonight, wasn't it?

Plasticsjunkie · 09-04-2008, 11:27 PM

It's a pure walleye. 100% certainty. Congrats!

**holdemplyer** · 09-05-2008, 05:56 AM

Not gonna lie! I am as jealous as they get... I was even thinking of dropping my own camera in the water to destroy the proof

DoubleH · 09-05-2008, 03:39 PM

Very nice walleye! It is way bigger than the ones I catch at the Z or the W. It seems like its head and eyes are disproportionately bigger than its body, did anyone else notice this?

Jump n Fish · 09-05-2008, 03:40 PM

Walleye on the fly is quite the accomplishment IMO. Well done! I would say thats 100% walleye in my opinion, not sure where it looks like a saugeye.

lakebigmacfisher · 09-05-2008, 05:02 PM

well it is 100% 'eye, still a very difficult task no matter if it is saugeye or walleye to accomplish, great saugeye.

Nice going, Bryan.

How deep were you fishing? When I was out there last week, one of the short-polers told me he had just caught two walleyes that morning in about 2-1/2 feet of water.
