Walleye Fishing - McNary Dam

Walleye Fishing at McNary Dam can be a lot of fun as well as total frustration.  Especially if you see all those darn sturgeon fisherman out there.  Why?  Because they catch BIG FISH, however there are plenty of walleye to catch.

As you can imagine finding the fish is not that hard but getting them to bite is another story.

We always work the banks on either side of the river below McNary dam.  15-25 feet of water is where we catch them. This past year we had a lot of luck trolling upriver using plugs. My favorites are always silver/blue and it really doesn't matter what you use.

They all work.  What I did do differently this year that made a big difference is to use a bottom bouncer ahead of my plugs.

Fishing below McNary Dam is tricky and rocky. That is why I switched to the bottom bouncers because they have a tendency to keep you out of danger.

Do hold your fishing rod and be ready to give and take line. By holding your rod you can save yourself a lot of plugs. If you want to be lazy and use the rod holder them my suggestion is to stay away from bottom bouncers.

If you have a technique you would like to share, please feel free to send us your tip and we will be happy to mention your website and full contact information.
