While in Isle Royale we hit a lake that had walleye. Our guys went out bright and early eager to lay in a fish fry of wally filets. I stayed in camp to tend my gear and get it dry after 5 days of rain......finally a bright sunny day.

About noon they came back skunked.......... So having dried everything out off I went and put a deep taildancer down in the calm sunny conditions. Nothing!

OK, I'll try the pockets in the cabbage weeds. After all, there is always more than one way to skin a cat right? Still nuthin......

Alrighty then, maybe I can catch some nice sized perch. After all those are good to eat. I put on a 1/8 ounce lime green roadrunner and started paddling real slow like along the weed edge. I was back at camp an hour later with 4 3lb walleyes...........1 for each of us. What a feast!

Of course I never let the cat out of the bag that I just stumbled on them while perch fishing  ;). Anyway, it seemed to be the trick and I will always have a few with me from now on.
