Well, the snow storm came, dumped a bunch and now with warm temps it is all gone. River angling on the Mississippi River in Pools 11-12-13 & 14 is once again going strong. Pick your Spring locations wisely, not necessarily up by the dams and you can get into big concentrations of walleye and sauger. Simple jig/minnow rigs working best at this time. You can troll 3-way rigs if fishing deeper locations. If you do troll, work up-stream as much as possible.
As far as bait?, go with bigger minnows in the 3" size range for best results. If your getting short strikes, add a stinger hook to minnows tail.
Was out this morning, windy, but able to fish some fairly sheltered locations in pool 13 and caught some nice fish. Bright orange hair jig with white hair was a killer today. I tie these myself and have had excellent luck with these hair jigs. If you have some, give them a try in bright colors.
Good Luck and Enjoy The Old Man River!!!
