Cast a Line - S1 E8 - Walleye Insights From Pro Guides - The Upgren Boys
Continuing last episode's discussion with Mike Upgren of Reel Fishing Guides and his son, Ethan, we dive way deep into all the important aspects of walleye fishing. We'll touch on learning forward-facing sonar, our scouting approaches to prep for guide trips, rigging creek chubs, maximizing the experience for our clients, the nuances of various presentations, and tell a few stories near the end.
