Walleye
Walleye fishing near Forest Grove, Oregon, is a bit of a challenge, as they aren't a primary target species in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet, though it requires a bit of a drive, would be to head east towards the Columbia River. While not right next to Forest Grove, the Columbia offers the best walleye fishing in the region. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times. Anglers often have success trolling crankbaits or jigs near structure and current breaks. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific areas and any closures. Also note that walleye populations fluctuate, so reports from local tackle shops can be invaluable. While it's a bit of a trek, the possibility of landing a Columbia River walleye makes the trip worthwhile.
