Straight-walled cartridge rifles dominate the regular gun season with hunters happy to put down their shotguns. They scooped up the initial offerings coming to market. It seemed reasonable at the time to think any rifle would be better than a shotgun..
Mention the state of Iowa and many people think about its rich, fertile land that grows fields of corn and beans. Iowa is also known for being the top hog producing state in the country.

So much for government efficiency to handle what has been labeled the most significant threat to the ecology of the Great Lakes in the past three decades.

Deep water is a relative term since it can vary from one system to the next. Deep might only be 15 feet on one lake, but as much as 30-plus on another.
Regardless, walleyes relate to deep water during the ice fishing season. More specifically, they relate to deep structure or deep water adjacent to structure. Those are the primary keys to consistently pulling walleyes from the depths during the winter.
