Title: Labor Day Toad Walleyes
Post by: FISHBOY on September 03, 2007, 08:23:07 PM: My partner and I caught 2 10-11 lb walleyes, 1 8 lber and a few 5-6ers yesterday, lost another 10 at the boat. All released, excellent day, only bad part of the day was when we ran out of beer at 2 pm.

The walleye fishing is just as good, if not better than MN. Only problem is their are fewer bodies of water with them in here in WA.

Post by: DuckRanger on September 27, 2007, 10:36:49 AM: When I found out I was moving out here, I did a lot of web surfing on the hunting and fishing out here. I did read lots of articles on the size of the walleyes in the Columbia River, etc. I know Banks Lake is supposed to be a good 'eye lake. Are there any other lakes closer to Spokane that produce walleyes? Thanks

Post by: jackelope on September 27, 2007, 10:52:41 AM: sprague lake did have walleys until today i think...if i remmeber correctly, they rehabbed the lake today and will not be re-stocking walleye in it, but they werelittle ones, most caught did not reach the minimum slot limit size as i understand after talking to some guys that fish it.
moses, potholes, banks, columbia river, and a few small lakes here and there have them, but those are the big ones...
you can check washingtonlakesdotcom for some info too.
