The River Fishing Presentations

Let your presentation be straightforward. This way the Walleye will see the crankbait or the worm harness. If you are going to use the crawler harness, let your goal be to allow an efficient amount of worm past the final hook. This will make sure it still wiggles.

River Fishing Depths
Depth is very important and its role in trying to catch more Walleye is critical. The depth always changes, and this depends on the surrounding structures and the spots and areas you fish. The Columbia River, let’s use as an example, has depths that can change from around 10 feet to 300 feet. This is where you should use a GPS, because it can become very useful. Once your locations are marked on the GPS, you increase your chances of staying on top of Walleye.

Walleyes depend on waters and locations to have food. Put yourself in a Minnows body for a moment and ask where would you want to be to remain safe and also to search for food sources? Where will you want to go to get away and hide from the Walleye?

It is possible for you to fish in the Columbia and catch Walleye in the depths of 9 feet, and you could also catch them at the depth of 100 feet. However, many of those fishermen that fish the Columbia generally catch most of their Walleye in the 25-30 foot range.

You will probably find that on a day that you choose to fish for Bass, you end up catching a generous amount of Walleye, and you will also live those days when you go out to catch Walleye, but only find yourself catching Perch and Bass. Try visiting the Columbia in September. If you want a break from Walleye and want a little “multi-species” catching, catch some Steelhead the morning and then return the evening for the Walleye.
