very cool.  I always heard they were there but never had much luck.

Were these on a fly?

I have seen people pull some big Walleye out but it has always been on livebait.  This is the time to catch them.  I am guessing we are near spawning time.

No. Ryan and his crew caught them on a 1/4 oz jig dressed with a 3" smoked twister tail near Difficult Run. They are spawning.

I went out to Difficult Run yesterday morning, was there abour 9am-11:30 or so.  No luck, it was very windy, and I'm not sure I ever got my fly deep enough anyway.  Any advice on targeting walleye with a fly this time or year?

I'm not experienced enough with fly fishing to provide advice.  However I do know that the Walleye were caught on the bottom with a tube/twister like jig near the sandbar.  Without a sinking line and crayfish like pattern I'm not sure how you could do it in that current.

The people I've know that have been successfull with Walleye during the spawn have used heavy weighted flies and sinking lines.   Basically a white woolly-bugger  tied on a leadhead jig.   If you arn't loosing files, you're not deep enough.  

However this was not in the Potomac and I don't know if you are going to get down deep enough in the fast moving current.  I would try a T14 sinking head to see if you can force the line to the bottom.  I have a reel set up, but have never gotten out to try it out.

Mike - any idea how deep the water is there? 

Thanks.
