Walleye fishing near Dayton, Oregon, is a challenging pursuit as they are not a common species in the immediate area. While the Willamette River does hold a variety of fish, walleye are not typically among them. If you're set on targeting walleye, consider expanding your search to the Columbia River system further north or east, where they are more prevalent. If you choose to explore the Willamette, focus on deeper pools and areas with current breaks. Jigging with minnows or using crankbaits that imitate baitfish might be your best bet, but be prepared for the possibility of not finding them. Always consult the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations to ensure you are fishing in areas where walleye are permitted and to understand any specific regulations regarding their harvest.
