Walleye
Walleye fishing near Monmouth requires a bit of a drive, as they are not common in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet is to head east towards the Columbia River or some of the larger reservoirs in central Oregon. While not a local fishery, it's possible to target them with a moderate drive. The Columbia River, particularly near the John Day Dam, is a known walleye location. Spring and early summer are the prime times to target walleye, as they are often found in shallower water during the spawning season. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or plastic swimbaits are effective lures. A local tip: Pay attention to the current and use enough weight to keep your bait near the bottom. Walleye in the Columbia River can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 10 pounds. Be sure to check the ODFW regulations for specific seasons and size limits before heading out.
