Walleye
While Ashland, Oregon, isn't exactly known as a walleye hotspot, dedicated anglers can find them in Emigrant Lake, a reservoir just southeast of town. This is a unique opportunity, as walleye are not commonly stocked in Southern Oregon waters. Focus your efforts during the spring spawning run (March-April) when walleye congregate in shallower areas near the dam and inlet streams. Trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with nightcrawlers can be effective. Another good time is late fall (October-November) as the water cools and walleye feed heavily before winter. Keep an eye on water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly. Access is available via the Emigrant Lake County Park, which offers boat ramps and shoreline fishing access. Be aware of potential wind, which can pick up quickly on the lake. The walleye population here is relatively small, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
