Walleye
Walleye fishing isn't a primary draw to the Spangle, Washington, area, but it's possible with some travel and the right approach. Your best bet is heading west to the Columbia River system, specifically the pools created by the dams. Potholes Reservoir, while a significant drive, is a renowned walleye fishery. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times, as walleye move shallow to spawn and feed. Jigging, trolling, and bottom bouncing are common techniques. Check the regulations for specific areas, as they can vary. The walleye in Potholes Reservoir are known for their size, with some exceeding 10 pounds. Consider investing in a good depth finder to locate submerged structure and fish holding areas. Remember to check weather conditions before heading out, as wind can be a significant factor on the large reservoir.
