I’ve read that Walleyes can be found in timber – can you pinpoint where in the timber and what types of timber I can find them in on the river?

Yes, you can fish for walleye in standing timer, or underwater timber, but it a big deal. It is not a matter of casting reeling in, it is geared more towards skill and learning techniques. Many anglers do not even deal with this type of walleye fishing because it can become time consuming with no results if not done correctly. Once you learn the techniques and become a skilled wood fisher, you will have an advantage over other walleye anglers.

In order to catch the walleye in any timber, you need a GPS. This is going to help you plot the map that tells you were every underwater piece of timber is located. You can troll with a crank bait or use some live bait, by maneuvering the line around the standing timber to the walleye bed. With your GPS finder, you are going to know exactly where you have to move and what depth you need to be at during your adventure.

You will need to use a very heavy bottom bouncer with a five-foot leader. A large minnow with a number two hook should work well. These underwater timbers are going to test your stress level, but once you master it, you will have one up on the other anglers who will not even try this feat. There is no specific name of timber, it is just any timber that is underwater. You may have to search more than one area before becoming successful in your little timber fishing expedition.
