Walleye

Walleye fishing near Mill Creek, WA, presents a bit of a challenge, as they aren't native to most of the immediate surrounding waters. However, with a bit of a drive, you can find walleye opportunities. Potholes Reservoir, located in Central Washington, is a well-known walleye destination and worth the trip. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with worms or leeches are common tactics. Be prepared for varied weather conditions, especially during the shoulder seasons. Check the WDFW website for the most up-to-date fishing reports and regulations, as walleye regulations can vary by waterbody. Also, consider investing in a good sonar unit to locate walleye holding structures in Potholes' expansive waters.
