Walleye
Walleye fishing near Moscow, Idaho, requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worth it. Your best bet is heading to the Snake River reservoirs, particularly those further south. While not directly adjacent to Moscow, the journey offers the most consistent walleye fishing in the region. Spring and fall are the key seasons, coinciding with walleye spawning migrations and feeding frenzies before winter. Focus on areas with rocky points, submerged structure, and current breaks. A crucial tip is to invest in a good fish finder to locate submerged structure where walleye congregate. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with plastics are popular and effective techniques. Be prepared for potentially windy conditions on the reservoirs and always check the weather forecast before heading out. Walleye in these reservoirs can reach impressive sizes, offering a chance at a trophy fish. Be sure to check Idaho Fish and Game regulations for specific reservoir limits and any special rules.
