While Prescott, Oregon, might not be the first place that springs to mind for walleye fishing, anglers in the know head to nearby impoundments and slower-moving stretches of the Columbia River. The best time to target walleye here is in the spring, as the water warms and they move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall can also be productive as they feed up before winter. Focus on areas with submerged structure like rocky points, ledges, and old timber. A local tip: try trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with nightcrawlers near the bottom. Be aware that water levels on the Columbia can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions before heading out. The walleye population here is generally healthy, with opportunities for both eater-sized fish and larger trophy specimens.
