St Louis River Ice Walleyes (A+ Midwinter Walleye Action): Captain Jarrid Houston breaks down how to catch St Louis River walleyes during the toughest stretch of the ice season. Fishing midwinter current seams and deep river holes, Jarrid shares his proven system using Coffin Spoons and Thumper Spoons tipped with live minnows.
In this video, you’ll learn how river walleyes behave differently than lake fish, how current and Lake Superior influence positioning, and how to adjust presentations during late-season “dog days” conditions. From early ice transitions to pre-spawn staging fish, this breakdown covers depth selection, bite windows, spoon color choices, and triggering lethargic bottom-hugging walleyes.
If you want to unlock consistent midwinter river action, this St. Louis River playbook delivers.
