Walleye
Targeting walleye near Pomeroy, Washington, means heading to the Snake River. While not directly adjacent to Pomeroy, the Snake River, particularly the stretches near Lower Granite Dam, offers some of the best walleye fishing in the region. Spring and fall are the prime times, as walleye move shallower to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Jigging with plastics or trolling crankbaits are popular and effective techniques. Be aware of the strong currents and boat traffic, especially near the dam. Access is primarily by boat, with several boat ramps available along the river. A local tip: Pay attention to the water levels and clarity, as these can significantly impact walleye activity. The walleye in this section of the Snake River can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. Be prepared for a strong fight and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Snake River canyon.
