Nice fish!  That spot looks familiar!  :)  I never made it down to try this winter...luckily, it appears that we have a few more months of winter ahead of us!!   :chuckle:  I'm probably going to try down in Bridgeport in a week or two.

We got snowed on again last night and this morning. It's pretty wintery ubove the river, but melting fast.  hopefully it will start to dry out a bit.

Getting ready for turkey season.  It's easy to get excited about it when i have views liek this every morning on the way to work!!  A bunch of free loader birds...  :)

Yelp, You are the man!   8)  Nice Fish!!  I just got back from Lake of the Woods in Northern Minnesota and we didn't pull out any trophies like yours.

Don't know how you can concentrate on Wallies with all those Gobblers in full strut?    :o   :chuckle:

Where abouts on the Columbia are you getting Walleyes, curious to what part of the river they are more concentrated, seems like East side?  Used to fish for them as young guy in Canada and Michigan....  What works better here, we used light tackle and jigs just off bottom..

Most of the columbia has walleye, I live along the upper columbia....We use jigs and spinner harness, troll shad raps later in the summer..We fish eddies, current breaks, points, gravel bars and weed lines..we use nightcrawlers or artificial (berkley gulp).
