Let's talk about the star of the show – the Walleye. These fish are like the ninjas of the river world. They've got eyes that can spot prey in low light, making them serious night-time hunters. During the day, they tend to hang out in deeper, darker waters. Walleye in Oregon can grow up to 10 pounds or more, though a good-sized catch is usually in the 2-5 pound range. Spring and fall are prime times to target these bad boys, but Captain Troy knows how to find them year-round. What makes Walleye so awesome? For one, they put up a great fight when hooked. But the real kicker? They're absolutely delicious. If you're lucky enough to land a keeper, you're in for some of the tastiest white fish you've ever had. It's no wonder anglers go nuts for these guys.
Look, we all start somewhere, and this trip is the perfect launchpad for your fishing journey.

You might just get hooked (pun totally intended) and find yourself planning your next trip before this one's even over. So why wait? Grab your spot on the boat, and let's get you out there catching some Walleye. Trust me, your future self will thank you for taking the plunge. Book now and get ready for a day of laughs, learning, and hopefully, some impressive catches to brag about!
Walleye are sleek, golden-olive fish with a trademark silver eyeshine that helps them hunt in low light. You'll find these freshwater predators in rivers and lakes, often hanging out near rocky bottoms or weed edges. They typically run 15-30 inches and can top out around 20 pounds. Walleye love to lurk in deeper water during the day, moving shallow to feed at night. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer evenings can be hot too. Anglers prize walleye for their firm, flaky white meat - it's some of the tastiest freshwater fish you'll ever eat. They put up a good fight and outsmarting them is a fun challenge. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling a live minnow rig along break lines or near submerged structure. Keep it within a foot of the bottom and be ready for that telltale tap-tap-tap when a walleye strikes.
