Some are focusing their attention on crayfish. Walleyes are targeting many different types of forage this time of year. Whether on top, on the edges or where the rock meets the deep mud, anchoring up in an area with walleyes and vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners can be very successful. Jigging is working well for some anglers, especially those fishing structure like rocky reefs. Hammered gold combined with brighter colors are good choices on LOW. Great success was had with a #5 Colorado bronze blade with some orange. When pulling spinners, try various sizes and colors of blades. Getting your presentation in front of lots of walleyes, by drifting spinners or trolling crankbaits as an example, will produce fish. Some of these fish are very cooperative, others suspend and are not so willing. Some bug hatches this week with many walleyes migrating to the deep mud. Summer patterns are rolling along, always on Mother Nature's timeframe. One constant remains, lots of fish are being caught. It is interesting how what is happening up on the north end of the lake isn't necessarily the same as the south end of the lake. Things are constantly changing within the ecosystem from week to week. An awesome week of summer walleye fishing on Lake of the Woods.
