Walleye

If you're chasing walleye near Sweet Home, Oregon, look no further than Green Peter Reservoir. This reservoir is one of the few places in western Oregon where you can reliably target walleye. Trolling crankbaits or worm harnesses along the deeper edges of the reservoir is a popular and effective technique. Focus on areas with submerged structure or changes in depth. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to fish for walleye, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. The boat ramp at Thistle Creek Campground provides good access to the reservoir. A local tactic that works well is to use lead-core line to get your baits down to the walleye, which often hold near the bottom. The walleye in Green Peter can be finicky, so experiment with different lure colors and trolling speeds until you find what they're biting on. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific restrictions or size limits on walleye in Green Peter Reservoir.
