Walleye
While Deary, Idaho isn't the first place that comes to mind for walleye fishing, anglers in the know can find some surprisingly good opportunities within a reasonable drive. Your best bet is heading south to Dworshak Reservoir. This large reservoir offers the ideal deep, cool water walleye prefer. Spring and fall are prime times, as the walleye move shallower to spawn or to feed before winter. Trolling crankbaits along submerged ledges and points is a productive tactic. Jigging near the dam can also be effective. A local tip: Pay attention to the thermocline, as walleye often congregate just above it. Be aware that Dworshak can experience significant water level fluctuations, so check conditions before you go. Also, consider exploring the Clearwater River below Dworshak Dam; some walleye migrate downstream, providing a river fishing experience.
