Walleye
Walleye anglers visiting Cambridge, Idaho, should set their sights on Brownlee Reservoir on the Snake River. This large reservoir boasts a healthy walleye population, offering excellent fishing opportunities. The best times to target walleye are during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. During the day, focus on deeper water near the dam or along submerged creek channels. At dawn and dusk, walleye will often move into shallower water to feed. Jigging with nightcrawlers or minnows is a popular and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits can also be productive, especially when covering large areas of the reservoir. The Idaho side of Brownlee offers several boat ramps, including the popular Brownlee Park and Boat Ramp. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can vary between Idaho and Oregon (depending on which side of the reservoir you are fishing). Electronic fish finders are highly recommended for locating walleye in this expansive body of water.
