The people I've know that have been successfull with Walleye during the spawn have used heavy weighted flies and sinking lines. Basically a white woolly-bugger tied on a leadhead jig. If you arn't loosing files, you're not deep enough.
However this was not in the Potomac and I don't know if you are going to get down deep enough in the fast moving current. I would try a T14 sinking head to see if you can force the line to the bottom. I have a reel set up, but have never gotten out to try it out.

I'm not experienced enough with fly fishing to provide advice. However I do know that the Walleye were caught on the bottom with a tube/twister like jig near the sandbar. Without a sinking line and crayfish like pattern I'm not sure how you could do it in that current.

I went out to Difficult Run yesterday morning, was there abour 9am-11:30 or so. No luck, it was very windy, and I'm not sure I ever got my fly deep enough anyway. Any advice on targeting walleye with a fly this time or year?--
