Are the WI 'eyes you fish river fish?  or like these...Lake fish that chase bait up a river?  Visability a factor?

There is usually a small population of walleyes that stay in the rivers but the real big gals are lake fish that move into the river to feed and spawn and are real transients.
Some days (the best I've ever had) blade baits will far outproduce live bait esp. in low vis water. It takes a fair amount of effort to work a blade bait all day but it's paid off well.
