Walleye on the Red Deer River


Yesterday I went exploring below the Dickson Dam Spillway looking for walleye. It was a very over cast cool day that seemed perfect to target walleye! I do not target browns on the RDR this time of the year because they are spawning. Walleye love minnow imitations so yesterday I used a size 6 balanced minnow imitation that definitely got the attention of the walleye. I often will let my imposter drift about 8-9 feet down below an indicator or I will strip my fly with an intermediate sinking line. Look for current seems or holes. Both tactics worked yesterday. Once I found walleye, I really worked that area. It paid dividends!
