Tippet or not
#11
No doubt, there is a time of the year when you can catch walleye off the top of the water (near the top) using a wet fly at night or on a dark cloudy day on a 10 - 12 foot 12-15 # test tippet or leader. This is when the mayflies return to the waters.

The may flies around my house only get half inch long, but just 40 miles from my house they get 2-3 inches long.

The trick is to make your fly to drop down in to the water and sink. I like a split shot about a foot back and use a little glow in the dark nail polish to enhance my fly bodies.

The walleye sit under the masses of dead flees on the water and wait for them to sink before taking them. (match the hatch but in this case match the crash and sink) [sly]
