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.
Whether jigging, trolling, or using dead rods, the Wolf River Rig is a proven way to get on fish.
These rigs can be used to catch a host of other species when fishing dead rods, including carp and catfish. This is a great setup to have in your back pocket and it’s very easy to put together.

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

I’m a firm believer that outdoors success doesn’t happen on a schedule.
There are so many variables that go into a productive hunting or fishing trip. After all, we’re dealing with wild animals.
