river walleyes: curly tail grubs, tubes, ringworms and minnow-imitations. The addition of salt, flavor and scent enhancement to these offerings has increased their effectiveness on tight-lipped walleyes. Go with a 4-inch ringworm and 3- to 4-inch versions of the other baits.
In addition to soft-bodied jigs, the timeless bucktail jig is also effective. The breathing action of a hair jig as water flushes through it provides a unique look, one that walleyes prefer some days.
Generally, walleyes remain inactive and relatively lethargic throughout the day, moving shallow to feed during the evening twilight. During cloudy days, especially during a warming trend, the shallow bite can happen throughout the day. This aside, some of the time you’ll be fishing for walleyes that are holding in deeper water, off the current edges. They can be caught, but you’ll have to make it easy for them.
Just like the minnow-tipped classic, soft-bodied jigs and hair jigs can be used to vertically jig over inactive walleyes as the boat slowly slides along a slackwater pool.
