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... :)

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..

Post by: yelp on April 03, 2009, 06:53:55 PM: 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).
