WALLEYE
Continued from Page 1B
Following introduction to Banks Lake
and Lake Roosevelt in the 1960s, wall-
eye migrated downriver to fi nd a home
throughout the Columbia and Snake
River system. Wide-open fl ats between
Wallula Gap and the Snake-Columbia
River confl uence remain as one of the
best places to fi nd large walleye in the
United States. Both the Oregon and
Washington State record walleye have
been caught in McNary Dam Pool (Lake
Wallula) at 19.96 pounds and 20.30
pounds, respectively.
In the lower Snake River, Lower
Monumental pool has the most to offer,
with walleye found from the mouth of
the Palouse River upstream to Little
Goose Dam. Winter anglers from the
upper Columbia region favor Lake Roo-
sevelt, Lake Rufus Woods and Banks
Lake. Moses Lake and the Potholes are
popular spots for anglers following the
ice-out period.

and move to slower water off the main

current when river discharge is high.
Trolling is the most effective way to
fi nd fi sh when they are scattered in
open water. Once a school of biters is
encountered, anglers might switch to a
vertical presentation with lead head jigs
or blade baits. Universal colors of silver,
white, and chartreuse provide improved
visibility at deeper depths.

Washington and Oregon fi sheries
managers recently removed size and
harvest limits on walleye in the Colum-
bia and Snake Rivers, citing a need to
reduce predation on juvenile salmon
and steelhead. However, devoted walleye
anglers release larger females and limit
their take of smaller fi sh.
Walleye feed on juvenile shad, salmon
smolts, lamprey ammocoetes, and bot-
tom-dwelling resident fi sh that include
sculpin and sandroller. A unique layer
of light-gathering tissue in the back of
their eyes, the tapetum lucidum, allows
them to detect prey at low light. Conse-
quently, night fi shing increases the odds
of hooking trophy-size walleye that move
from deep water to the shallows to feed.
No wonder anglers are willing to drive
hundreds of miles to fi sh in the dark for
a chance at a “walleye of a lifetime!”
