HERE WE GOOOOO!

SUNRISE/ FIRST CAST-7:10 AM

SUNSET/ LAST CAST-6:24 PM

COLORS: A good rule of thumb on where to start is “bright colors on brighter sunny days / dark colors on the cloudy overcast days” Walleye dont quite see colors the same way we see them. Keep in mind that we also have all colors available in the slightly larger 4 inch tails. More visible and gives a better vibration  in this murky water

WEIGHT: 3/4 oz -1 oz

BLUEGRASS ISLAND:  Located in Sidecut Metropark – Too high to cross today-flowing fast and cold. This area is is very popular with it being  shallower and having many rock shelves you can stand and wade on to reach the deeper middle channel. Be very careful wading, because there are very deep drop offs. ( see the shirt below)The water also flows faster here because of the higher rockbed.
