Winnipeg River
Late fall is trophy time on the Winnipeg. Big fish become vulnerable as they fatten up for winter. This was illustrated very clearly in October of 2005, when Lindy pro staff member Tom Backer caught a 13-pound walleye in Traverse Bay, which is the basin where the Winnipeg River empties into massive Lake Winnipeg.
The most productive tactic is to anchor and jig right below the boat. The weight of your Max Gap jig depends on how close you are to the mouth of the river, which pushes current well out into the lake. Sometimes one-quarter ounce is enough. Other times three-eighths of an ounce is needed. Within the river, a one-ounce Fuzzy-E-Grub works best. Dress your jig with a frozen emerald shiner. For short strikers, add a stinger hook to your jig.
Two hooks per line are legal there. Add a Diachi Stand Out Hook a foot above the jig and dress it with a frozen shiner. Make sure you pinch the barbs back as it is a barbless province.
Look for turns in the river channel. The presence of rocks makes that spot even more attractive. Productive depths are 10 to 14 feet. Anchor when you see fish on the sonar.
