Good luck haha most guys will give up their SSN before giving up walleye info on Canyon Ferry. To answer your question, yes and no. Depending on time of year, time of day, water temperature, and barometric pressure, you can catch walleyes almost anywhere on Canyon Ferry. Pitching jigs on rocky points and in bays can be very productive some days, while trolling along contour breaks and weed lines can be productive other days. I always keep a few rods rigged with different things so I can change tactics quickly depending on how the day starts off. I know this was very broad and general, but hopefully it helped.
To jig or not to jig... That is the question.

No problem. I'm always glad to help out another angler, as long as I don't give out my secrets haha. Good luck out there this year!
