Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

My husband and I have moved the last child out and now IT'S OUR TURN! We want to go fishing THIS March for walleye. So of the Eastern WA lakes where and when. We have a 16 ft alum boat and we can do Lake Roosevelt down to Potholes resev. with not any problem. We fish the Clarkston /Lewiston area for Bass A LOT. But never went Walleye fishing. So any help would be great. We have an outboard motor so no FAST water for us.

 So When to fish, Where to fish, and what Bait...The sooner we go the better!

And THANK YOU in advance!

The map(s) to get is made by FISH -n -MAP CO.  There are at least two you should have.  One has a great map of the Potholes Reservoir with Moses Lake and Sammamish on the other side.  The other has Banks Lake on one side and Lake Washington on the other.  Both maps have GPS coordinates that help you get going and are printed on a waterproof plastic.  You can find them at most good tackle shops.

The website is www.fishnmap.com.  Your rods should work to get started.  Once you fish and decide how you like to fish, you may want to expand your rod arsenal.  I use several techniques for walleye - some requiring different rods.  Half my walleye rods are casting and half are spinning.  Most I use for bass a well.
