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. Bay of Quinte When asked for suggestions on where to go for trophies through the ice, Lindy pro staffer Dave Genz is quick to answer- the Bay of Quinte in Ontario, Canada. Focus on Big Bay. There's a neckdown that creates fish- attracting current and shoals in the bay itself. Keep fishing until you connect with perch. The walleyes will be there. No perch? No walleye. Stay mobile. Genz uses the new Rattl'n Flyer Spoon. Because it's a trophy you're after, change the stock hook for a larger- sized treble hook. Add a shiner or fathead. Other destinations he recommends have been mentioned earlier - Lake of the Woods and the Winnipeg River. He also sends anglers to Saginaw Bay and the Saginaw River in Michigan for ' Shiver on the River,' an ice- fishing event held in January. As an indication of how many big fish are there, cash awards are paid for the top 25 places. A 10- pound walleye is usually needed to make it into the money. A final word: 10- pound walleyes are rare no matĀter where you fish. No one will fault someone for taking a trophy of a lifetime. But, don't make it a habit. Consider taking measurements, several photos, and releasing the fish. Graphite reproducĀtions are easier to care for than skin mounts, they look just as good, and you'll win the praise of friends. They will appreciate the fact you let the fish go for someone else to catch and to keep its superior genes in the gene pool. That way you and others can catch the same fish again later- after it's grown even more! Help Us Out.
