Columbia River Walleye Fishing Secrets
Walleye are easy to catch in the Columbia River if you know a bit about the walleye. For instance, they don't like a lot of sound, they don't like a lot of light, and it loves food. Walleye will usually try to stay in the deeper water so be sure that the jigs you are using have enough of a weight of some type to sink into the water, and the jigs are a bit colorful so the walleye will be sure to see them.
Also, be sure to use jigs that swivel or twist. A good tip to remember with your lure or jig is that "if you don't feel it on the bottom" you aren't going to catch that walleye. However, when it comes to your boat, use a trolling motor, and if possible go into the wind or the river's current. This decreases the noise as well. You don't have to have a huge engine or fast boat to catch those walleye in the Columbia River.
Of course, you have to have patience and give the walleye time to get adjusted to the jig or lure being on the bottom. As they get used to the jig they will then of course presume it is food and therefore attempt to eat it. When this happens and you feel that initial tug, don't yank your rod. Instead slowly reel and then when you know the walleye is virtually trying to swim away from you and the boat, it is hooked. Now is the time an individual should be reeling the walleye in.
There are strategies for various times of year too. In these situations, fishing the Columbia River for walleye is usually best in the early months of spring. One secret that has proven successful too is the temperature of the surface water. If the water is less than fifty degrees the walleye seem to like body bait rather than sick bait. However, once the water temperature does change and get warmer, the walleye like the lures better as bait.
So, in all fairness this is a good secret to keep in mind as well. When the conditions are set just right, it is possible to catch a bunch of big, adult walleyes in a single day, although keeping a limit on what an individual catches is a good idea too.
Walleye are usually aggressive when it comes to what they want to eat and they will go after it, so the secret essentially to a good catch is to know about walleye as well.
Finding out as much as you possibly can about walleye and individuals who have actually caught them in the Columbia River is to an individual's advantage as well.
Amazingly, for many fish anglers the best secrets are learned while fishing for walleye. Some people think it's from experience while others disagree. Strategy sometimes has to be based on the surrounding area and where exactly the walleye are. In addition, to these tips and strategies an avid walleye angler can find several different web sites that are detailed in walleye fishing. These web sites often offer detailed information and strategies that actually are effective in a really good catch.
