Walleye
While not a primary walleye destination, Lake Oswego does hold a population of these fish, offering a unique angling opportunity within the Portland metro area. Targeting walleye here requires some dedication, as they are not as abundant as bass. Focus your efforts on deeper areas of the lake, particularly around structure like submerged humps or drop-offs. Jigging with minnow-imitating plastics or crankbaits is a popular technique. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target walleye, as they tend to move into shallower water to feed. The George Rogers Park boat ramp is the primary public access point. A fish finder is essential for locating walleye in Lake Oswego, as they often hold tight to specific structure. Be prepared to experiment with different presentations and depths to find what the fish are keying on.
