Walleye
Walleye aren't a common target in the immediate Shady Cove area. You'll need to venture a bit further to find productive Walleye fisheries in Oregon. While the Rogue River itself doesn't hold a significant Walleye population, consider exploring reservoirs like nearby Lost Creek Lake. While it's known for trout and Kokanee, there are some Walleye to be found, particularly near the dam and in deeper sections. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are cooler. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged rocks and ledges. Trolling crankbaits or jigging vertically are effective techniques. Before heading out, check the specific regulations for Lost Creek Lake, as they can vary. Also, consider investing in a good sonar unit to locate schools of Walleye in the deeper sections of the lake.
