The Wolf River Rig is a classic among walleye anglers in Wisconsin and for good reason. They are an excellent way to ensure your bait stays in front of fish that are hanging tight to the bottom, even when the current is significant.

Late spring and early summer can be the best time of year to do this.
Here are some tips for sight fishing carp:
