A guy in the fishing forum caught a really nice walleye with a sinking line and a jointed woolly bugger. I’m curious how many of you also run a similar set up. It seems like a great way to get to the deeper walleye, or even summer Lake Trout.
Has anyone else here had any luck targeting these species with this set up?
Also, do you think an 8 weight is a good size for the deeper and bigger Lake Trout?
Thanks!

8 wt rod should be plenty. I've used both a 5 and 7 wt.
I have only caught 1 walleye on a fly and it was on a sinking line in about 8 ft of water while I was fishing for SM. So I guess with my limited experience this set up works but the sinking line is much harder to case and manage, at least for me.

Going into the deep woods is always an adventure, full of humor, drama and normally someone's blood, at least when you go with me!
