What to Expect on the Water

Let's break it down: You and up to five of your fishing buddies will be hitting the river at the crack of dawn. Captain Troy knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you'll be heading straight for the Walleye hotspots. We're talking deep pools, rocky structures, and those sneaky drop-offs where the big ones love to hide. You'll be using pro-grade gear – we're talking sensitive rods, quality reels, and lures that these Walleyes can't resist. Expect to switch up techniques throughout the day, from jigging to trolling, depending on what the fish are biting. And here's the kicker – with such a small group, you'll get plenty of one-on-one time with the Captain to fine-tune your approach. It's not just about catching fish; it's about leveling up your Walleye game.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Alright, let's talk shop. This trip is all about mastering the art of Walleye fishing. We'll be using a mix of techniques that the pros swear by. Vertical jigging? You bet. We'll drop those jigs right on the Walleyes' noses in deep structure. Trolling with crawler harnesses? Oh yeah, especially when we're covering water to find active fish. And don't forget about casting crankbaits along those weed edges – that's where the big boys often hang out. Captain Troy will show you how to read your electronics like a pro, spotting those telltale arches that scream "Walleye!" You'll learn to feel the difference between a strike and a snag, and when to set the hook for maximum success. By the end of the day, you'll be working those rods like a seasoned river rat.

Target Species: Walleye

Let's talk Walleye – the fish that's got anglers coming back for more. These golden-eyed predators are the kings of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the river bottom. In Oregon's waters, they can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish often tipping the scales at over 10 pounds. Walleyes are known for their fantastic taste, but don't let that fool you – they're no pushovers when it comes to fishing. These crafty creatures are most active during low light conditions, which is why we'll be out there early. Spring and fall are prime times, but Captain Troy knows how to find them year-round. What makes Walleye fishing so addictive? It's the combination of the challenge and the reward. When you feel that distinctive "tap-tap" on your line, and set the hook into a big one, it's a rush like no other. Plus, there's nothing quite like the fight of a big Walleye – they'll use every trick in the book to shake that hook.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
