Catching shallow-weed walleyes in the summer on Iowa’s Great Lakes

For the past 45 years, I’ve enjoyed fishing walleyes on the Iowa Great Lakes: Big Spirit Lake, East Lake Okoboji and West Lake Okoboji. For many years, however, I missed a real opportunity during the summer months.
After fishing the weed edges in mid-June into July, I would then move to deep water, trolling bottom bouncers or pulling crankbaits. That was good fishing, but I was missing a walleye gold mine: summer walleyes in the weeds. Since doing that, I’ve found a population of walleyes that spend the summer enjoying life in the shallow weeds.
