I know from talking to people and watching people fish, that basically nobody that fishes Sulphur creek targets walleye. In the last few years fishing out there, I've talked to one guy who did, besides myself. You can't really blame the locals around here for not knowing how to fish for eyes... even after I tell them how I'm catching them they don't seem very interested. Which is odd, because the trout fishing at Sulhpur is sub-par at best.
I'm sure all the traditional methods will work at Sulphur. I am a swimbait fanatic though and have a hard time fishing anything else for eyes. I fish 2.8", 3.3", and 3.8" size keitech fat swing impact swimbaits on a darter head. Usually if I'm fishing the 2.8" size I will fish two of them tandem, about a foot apart.
Can't fish them wrong. You can steady retrieve. Stop and go. Vertical jig. Drag the bottom. etc. As long as the paddle tail is thumping.
It is not a very big lake - if you go you should be able to find them pretty easily. I've mostly been fishing the inlet/bay next to the boat ramp though.
