FOR ADVANCED ANGLERS! This pamphlet assumes that you know what is meant by terms like "spinner rig," "back-trolling," and "slip sinker." It will not make an effort to explain those terms. The purpose of this field guide is to serve as a quick reference or refresher for things you ought to already know about walleye fishing, and to point you in the right direction when you're going into an unfamiliar fishing situation.

Based on the conditions, water temperature, time of year, and time of day, this guide will tell you the first, best thing to try in your search of walleye and sauger.
