[black][size 3]In WI you have far more walleye water than we do here in UT, and therefore more variety of water to fish.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I've never fished for walleye at night, but I understand that the majority of large eyes are taken at night.[/size][/black]

[size 3]Probably my first 50 eyes were taken on a fly rod. It was during the spawn, and they were coming into a beach where the bottom was covered with porous lava rocks, sized from a golf ball to a softball. I got tired of wading out to undo snags, and came up with the idea of tying my flies upside down, it did help.[/size]

[size 3]I have used stinger hooks for short striking trout, but have never tried them for walleyes.[/size]

[size 3]More recently, i have confined most of my walleye fishing to spinner/worm rigs, with a bottom bouncer. (using a double hook worm harness)[/size]

[size 3]I envy your access to walleye fishing, they are my favorite eating fish. (pan fried fillets, in butter with salt and pepper)[/size]

[size 3]Try the upside down hook, it should work. I used it long before they came out with the Keel (brand) hook.[/size]
