WalleyeTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesThe walleyes have been relating to deep structure such as cribs and large boulders and tree tops. A slip float and a leech on a small jighead have been absolute dynamite for these fish. Lots of nice bonus bluegills to be caught using this technique as well.

Fish were stacked on the wind blown side of the lake anywhere around vegetation or any type of cover. Any retrieve speed seemed to work with the wave action.

Red Cedar can be a fun, yet challenging multi-species lake. With a number of islands, coves, points, and humps there always seems to be an option if the wind picks up or weekend boat traffic is bad. Or head to one of the two connected lakes for a change. Bluegill, crappie and rock bass are fairly prevalent across the lake and can be found on any defined weed line, along with hammer-handle pike. Walleye and Smallmouth can be tough to find but are present.
