Dec 6, 2015 9AM-4PM Scott and myself walleye fishing

Where: Pool 9 below the Genoa dam

Weather: calm, 42°, cloudy

Water: fairly dirty, rising, 32kcfs, 36°

Caught: Approx. 25 walleyes and saugers, kept 5 saugers

Today I did something I normally do not do, walleye fishing in December. Scott had his boat and was the Captain this day. We tried various late fall and early winter spots up by the dam, but the flow was just too fast for them. We did catch a few fish on the Minnesota side of the river about 300 yards below the dam, but this area was fairly crowded with other anglers.
We moved downstream after about an hour and fished the series of wing dams down by the Y. This is where we caught the majority of the fish. They were not out close to the main channel, but were between the wing dams staying out of the high river flows.
