Timber and brush near a deep creek channel will hold more fish than along a shallow flat. Deep-sloping shorelines with trees and stumps will hold more
fish than trees on a shallow sandbar.
As a general rule, target the brush areas in the spring during high water. Walleye and sauger will move into these areas to spawn. Timber near deeper
water will hold fish throughout the entire year.
Most anglers that fish timber and brush will use cone-sinker rigs with weedless hooks, brush guard jigs, or smaller jigs with fine-wire hooks that will bend
and release from the wood if you pull it hard enough. Anglers will also use spinner rigs, crankbaits, minnow plugs, jigging spoons and slip bobber rigs.
