Fish deep rocky points, currents helps, creek channels. worms and minners drifted on jigheads through creeks channels are good. Tgis is all I know on lake fishing for walleye, I usually fly fish in current for them.

Yeah, I was suprised to see your post. Haven't fished for Walleyes since I lived in Michigan. We used to use a variety of lures that are designed to bump along the rocky bottoms. You want to find the edges of ridges or dropoffs where fish might be holding.

Sinking rapalas, roadrunners are two of the rigs that I've used. I'm sure hat if you use google, that you'll find a number of more. Trolling them along creekbeds and structure should get you some nice fish.



There's a fine line between fishing and sitting on the water looking like a darn fool.

What's your go to flys for targeting walleyes? I live in Granbury but work in Stephenville ...plan on taking side trips home through Glen Rose for some evening fishing!!! I drove out there yesterday just to look at it ...looks sweet. However now I know why the Paluxy has been sucked dry.

Looking at the stocking of that lake, I still don't see how you will catch a Walleye instead of a LMB.
However, I look forward to your post-fishing report with great interest.
Best of Luck!!

You guys probably know this but Beavers Bend in Broken Bow holds some good Walleyes too.

I used to fish for Walleyes in Oklahoma. We trolled with #9 Rapla Shad raps, silver in the sun and gold cloudy. Live bait with big night crawlers hooked in the middle and slow trolled with trolling motor over points and drop-offs. Use light line or Floro. Largest one I ever caught was on Fort Cobb and it weighed 9# 8 oz.

Seems like Texoma was stocked with Walleye at one time but haven't heard anything about them being caught there. Good luck Pastor, keep us posted.
Found it, last time was 77.

theyre there, but it can be tricky fishing at times, lots of frustrating hang ups, and lots of lost baits in search for good ones

white/chart clouser, or an olive wooly bugger. vary the depth, weight, size, etc to conditions and sixe of fish. usually a small 2-3" clouser is hard to beat. if i were fishing deep, id fish with a sink tip and a 5-6wt, if i were fishing shallow, id use a short 3 weight, and maybe a 4

Been up north fishing on Lake Oahe SD and if your slow trolling or drifting with steady wind in say 10 to 20 of water use a bottom bouncer with a worm rig trailing behind it. The rig will have beads and spinners on it and will be say 3 to 4 feet behind the bottom bouncer. They love night crawlers and we also use leachs as well on these rigs but they be hard to find down here. I would also do a search on youtube for Al Lindner as he is one of the best. My dad was semipro and fished with Al alot. Others use lures but I never had.

I cannot believe that in spite of my efforts to tell the world about the Wheeler Branch Reservoir and the beautiful park built with your TPWD matching funds that it is still a secret. See my numerous posts in the Open Freshwater Discussion forum for information on the lake and the controversy over the fees.

All that aside, please post the results of Walleye fishing on the lake. Thus far no Walleye catches have been reported to me.

Grew up fishing walleye my biggestt is 12.5 lbs 31 inches. I would start with 1/8 or 1/4 once chartrues jig tipped with a minow, then go to leaches or night crawlers if that doesn't work.They are going to be tight tight tight to the bottom your jig should be in constant contact with the botom. Bottom lift 3-6 inches then bottom. They can bite very light line may just be a little heave or a little light anything different from normal set the hoop.
