    Default Spring river in the morning.


    Putting in at Cold Springs Access. Going after walleye. Any body got any advice on catching them? If the walleye don't cooperate I will have to settle for trout. Going to try drifting down river jigging with jigs tipped with minnows. May try a few crankbaits also.

    The river looked great sunday,sometimes a few crappie are at the mouth of the creek that comes in up river from the one lane bridge.
    You can try night crawlers or pull cranks up river for walleye,I like useing BIG minners.Not sure but think you can only keep one small mouth up there...hummm think its either 16 or 18 inch before you can keep it.
    Should be easy to catch your limit of trout there......

    I know the trout wont be a problem. Caught plenty of them. Will be my first time in the boat up there. usually wade, and have caught plenty of trout, but only one walleye in around 25 years. For eating I will take walleye over trout. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will catch a few.

    Trout aren't bad. Just have to take care of them. Clean them while still alive, and skin them. I still prefer crappie, but trout isn't bad fried, or grilled with cajun seasonings. Wish they had less bones though.

    Get a good slab of hickory, glaze trout filets with butter and garlic and lay on hickory. Place on grill, cook on medium coals for 8 minutes. Flip and cook 5 more minutes. Throw trout in trash and eat hickory.... Mmmmmm tasty. Only way to prepare em'!
