Walleye
Walleye fishing isn't a primary draw near Gearhart, Oregon, as they are not native to most coastal rivers and lakes in the region. If you're set on Walleye, you'll need to travel inland considerably to find suitable populations. The Columbia River, further east, offers the best opportunity for Walleye fishing in Oregon. However, this is a significant drive from Gearhart. If you're willing to make the trip, focus on areas with rocky structure and current breaks. Jigs, crankbaits, and worm harnesses are effective lures. Spring and fall are peak seasons. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific locations and any applicable restrictions. Walleye in the Columbia River can reach impressive sizes.
