Spring Mid-Columbia Walleyes
Location: Mid-Columbia River
Season: April – August
Weather: Cool
World-Class Walleye Fishing
We target tasty Walleye on the Columbia year-round, however, Spring is a particularly good time to catch them
-
The Quarry: Columbia Walleye fishing has become known as one of the best Walleye fisheries in the United States, with Spring, being one of the very best times to fish for them. They are the ultimate table fare—famous for their white, flaky, clean-tasting fillets.
-
The Strategy: We don’t guess; we target. George uses precision boat control to hover over specific structural elements—humps, ledges, and current seams. We utilize vertical jigging and bottom-walking with nightcrawlers to trigger strikes from these deep-water predators.
-
River Conditions: In the Spring the Columbia River is waking up. Flows are more consistent, and the water is cool. Expect crisp, calm mornings that turn into pleasant spring afternoons.
-
Gear Up: The weather can change quickly in the desert spring. Dress in layers: a moisture-wicking base layer, a fleece, and a windproof/waterproof shell are essential.
-
Prime Time: March through May
