Thanks, guys. A guy I know suggested walleye assassins. They're a shad-type swimming plastic you put on a jig head. Anyone ever try them?
I have not tried it but from articles I have read in Walleye Insider and other places they strongly suggest using "ringworms" for winter river eyes. It's essentially a plastic worm about 4" long with a curly tail and they just rig them on lightweight ballhead jigs and drift them down current. Supposedly the eyes love them even more than live bait rigs in the cold water. I don't river fish eyes much anymore but I think it would work in the right circumstances.
I fish ahead of the riffles where the tail of the hole is.
