Walleye
Walleye fishing near Cornelius, Oregon requires a bit of a drive, as they aren't found in the immediate area. Your best bet is to head east towards the Columbia River or the Deschutes River, both of which hold established walleye populations. The Columbia River, in particular, offers good opportunities, especially in the John Day Pool area. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times for walleye fishing in these rivers. On the Columbia, trolling crankbaits or using bottom bouncers with worm harnesses can be effective. On the Deschutes, try jigging along rocky bottoms and drop-offs. Be sure to check the specific regulations for the river you plan to fish, as they can vary. A key tip is to pay attention to water levels and clarity, as walleye prefer slightly stained water. The walleye in the Columbia River can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon.
