I've seen them rise for mayflies also but usually stick with a little larger wake making fly, I use foam a fair bit to create little gurglers, frogs.
In the video I used the Popovich Hollow Fleye style in chartreuse and black and fish the bottom until it got near and would slide it across the surface. as you can see in the vid on my blog the Walleye are surfacing like mad and are often mistaken as goldeye or chub.
When I come to the city this summer we'll have to hook up on the NSR for some top water action and a beer.
