In this podcast episode, we’re diving deep into one of my absolute favorite windows for catching walleye: the post-spawn period. If you're an angler targeting walleye, especially in western reservoirs like Glendo, Seminoe, Boysen, and Keyhole, you don’t want to miss this!
We cover:
- Where to find hungry post-spawn walleye
- The best water temps and locations
- My go-to presentations: jigs, suspending crankbaits, rattle baits, and flutter spoons
- Boat tactics like trolling with planer boards and dialing in speed
- The gear I trust: TB Custom Rods, PK Lures, Dynamic crankbaits, and more
- Proven seasonal strategies for both beginners and seasoned anglers
Whether you're casting from shore or trolling from a boat, this episode is packed with techniques you can apply anywhere walleye swim.
