Mike Frisch: Find the green, find the fish
Frisch says walleyes and other predators move to remaining live weeds as cooling water kills cover and reduces oxygen.
- Fishing expert Mike Frisch advises anglers to target green weeds for fall walleye success, as finding living vegetation acts as a critical key for locating fish that relocate when other cover dies off.
- As waters cool during late summer and into fall, weeds begin to die, causing oxygen levels to deplete and forcing game fish and baitfish to vacate areas with dead vegetation.
- Anglers can locate living vegetation using the DownScan feature on an Elite sonar unit, which effectively distinguishes individual upright stalks from dead vegetation that collapses on the lake bottom.
- Another method for identifying green weeds involves fishing through potential areas with KVD Elite 4.0 Squarebill crankbaits, where inspecting vegetation on the hook confirms if the area holds living cover.
- Frisch found hungry walleyes holding in green weeds as shallow as 5 feet, and pitching jigs and fatheads to these specific locations consistently produced good catches.

Finding green, living weeds is often a great starting point. As waters cool during late summer and into fall, weeds start to die. As this occurs, oxygen levels deplete, cover is more limited, and the baitfish and game fish that lived in a weed bed for the p…
