Hey Big Al1, sorry to hear that u havent had much luck at boysen. The only reason i started to fish boysen more was to go after the walleye more. Dont get me wrong i like to catch trout to but its nice to mix it up with other fish, pathfinder the walleye can be really hit or miss. Well thats my luck any way, i havent ever gotten into big numbers of walleye at boysen but i have caught some big ones. Last season a friend and i caught several eyes from 7 to 10 lbs, and when the eyes are biting slow we still caught trout, ling, perch, and crappie thats why i love boysen so much. You just have to drill plenty of holes and change depths on your tip-ups, as well as many different lure variations but trust me it will eventually pay off. Oh one more thing on my tip-ups i always thread my minnows it takes time but u dont miss near as many fish. If u have any other questions let me know! 8)
