I heard using whistler jigs on the columbia river for fishing walleye works. Do you think that sounds right?

One of the best jigs to use on walleye fish on the Columbia Rive is called a “bullet jig” or “tube jig.” All it is is a bullet shaped lead-head jig with a tube-shaped skirt over it. It%u2019s sometimes called a “Fat Getzit,” and they use heavier weights to counter strong currents that crop up below the dams. You should first start out with a 3/4 oz. or 1 oz. bullet jig. Use a 1/0 or 2/0 hook and attach a “stinger hook”. This is just a trailing hook size of your choice connected to the jig with a monofilament line. This line should be able to hold 12 lbs of weight. Slide the lead head into the tube skirt, and lubricate it with either a fish scent or some WD-40 %u2013go with the fish scent, as that%u2019d save a step. After this, just thread a night-crawler lure and you%u2019re done. The night-crawler is pretty much essential, as it%u2019s most likely to draw walleye to it. To thread the ‘crawler,’ start with your stinger, threading the worm from below the band towards the tail onto the hook. Now hook the head of the worm onto your jig hook so it%u2019s between the two hooks. This makes it more appetizing to fish. If you want to jig fish for walleye, you have to have finesse and the proper equipment. One of the best ways is to quickly lower the jig to the riverbed, giving your lure about seven inches of play, but keep your line taut at all times on the up and downstrokes. The reason for this is that a walleye fish tends to not make a very noticeable bit unless the line%u2019s stretched tight already.
