Looks like I stick to the eyes then! Thanks for the info!

Looks like you know your way around those silly fish.  The good news is that Deer Creek has been producing good numbers of walleyes for several years...if you fish the right ways, at the right time, with the right stuff.  But, as your most recent trip illustrates, just finding the fish is never a guarantee of catching them.  And sometimes you have to keep looking until you find active fish that will vote for what you are offering.

The big problem with a lot of anglers on Deer Creek (and everywhere) is that they get locked in to fishing the same places and the same way on every trip...without consideration for changing depths, temperatures, food availability, fish activity levels or anything else.  Then, if they don't catch fish they blame it on the moon, boat traffic, DWR or Covid.  Whatever.  For me, I always enjoy the challenge of doping out the pattern du jour and then being able to catch fish while everybody else is still sticking with something that ain't working on that day.

I fished bass tournaments in my distant past...before deciding I did not like competition fishing.  But I learned a lot.  And the one biggie I learned from that kind of fishing is that on any given day...on any body of water...under any set of circumstances...there will be some fish biting somewhere for somebody.  There were days when after a big front came through or some other major event that almost everybody struggled to catch even a few fish.  Then, at weigh in time, one or two teams would come in with limits of bigguns. 

I learned that if what you're doing ain't workin'...do something else that will work...and keep trying until you start scoring.  You won't always catch fish, but it's for sure you will catch more than if you just hang it up and whimper a lot.
