What to Expect on the Water

Top Catches This Season

Walleye fishing in Oregon is all about finesse and patience. We typically use light to medium tackle, rigged with live bait or artificial lures. Trolling with bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses is a go-to method, especially in deeper water. When fish are holding tight to structure, we'll switch to vertical jigging with minnows or soft plastics. The key is matching your presentation to the mood of the fish - some days they want it slow, other days they're more aggressive. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques; your captain will walk you through every step. We also use top-of-the-line electronics to locate schools of walleye, so you're always fishing the most productive water.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about walleye fishing that keeps anglers coming back for more. Maybe it's the challenge of outsmarting these notoriously finicky fish. Or perhaps it's the thrill of feeling that distinctive "tap-tap" bite on your line. Whatever the reason, our guests rave about the quality of fishing and the overall experience. Many have turned their first trip into an annual tradition, bringing along friends and family to share in the excitement. The peaceful beauty of Oregon's waterways, combined with world-class walleye fishing, creates memories that last a lifetime.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the star of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their tasty white fillets and challenging fight. In Oregon, walleye typically range from 1 to 5 pounds, but trophy fish pushing 10 pounds or more are not uncommon. They're most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and late evenings can be prime time for big catches.

Walleye are ambush predators, often lurking near drop-offs, rocky points, and submerged structure. They have excellent eyesight, which allows them to feed effectively in murky water or at night. This keen vision also makes them more challenging to catch in clear water, where stealth and finesse become crucial.

One of the most exciting aspects of walleye fishing is their aggressive feeding behavior. When they're on the bite, it's not uncommon to catch fish after fish. Walleye also school up, so when you find one, there's a good chance more are nearby. This can lead to fast and furious action that will keep your rod bent all day long.

While walleye can be caught year-round in Oregon, spring and fall tend to be particularly productive. In spring, pre-spawn walleye move into shallower water, making them more accessible to anglers. Fall brings another feeding frenzy as walleye bulk up for winter. However, with the right techniques, you can land quality fish any time of year on our full-day trips.

Anglers love targeting walleye not just for their fighting ability and table fare, but also for the challenge they present. Reading the water, choosing the right presentation, and detecting those subtle bites all require skill and patience. It's a true test of an angler's abilities, and landing a big walleye brings a sense of accomplishment that's hard to match.
