Big Montana Walleye

Thought all of you might be interested to know that my longtime friend and occasional hero, Robert Eddins, nailed this walleye recently. That means he found a better walleye in Montana than I could in Ontario, and he spend a lot less time and money to do so! Anyway, Eddins and I go a long way back and we have had some adventures over time. Wish I could have been there with him on this one. Looks like it probably ate well. Eddins didn’t say where he caught this fish but it had to be in Montana. Fort Peck, Nelson, Canyon Ferry, Hauser . . . somewhere else?

A question: do any of you think there is a fly fishing movement toward walleye going on, or are they just the same old boot, non-fighting trash fish that we’ve always considered them? Interested to know if your opinions of walleye have changed and if you would be willing to chase them with a fly.

By the way, Eddins is the owner of Bozeman, Montana based Ro Drift Boats. Swing by their facility to check out the great boats they’re making.
