Ice fishing for walleye
« on: Yesterday at 06:46:12 PM »
I've never seen a walleye in person, and I've never ice fished but I saw some guys ice fishing out on leader lake on loup loup pass last winter, but I know next to nothing about it beyond the obvious. I had a bite of fried walleye once and it was incredible, and I'm thinking a winter fishing trip might be in order. I have no idea where to go, what to use, where to stay etc, looking for recommendations on a good spot to target walleye on the ice... if that's even a thing in this state.

I know I'll need different rods, in my research I see guys have these things called tip-ups or flags? Are those legal? How many holes can you fish? I'm sure I'll have more questions but thought this would be a good place to start!

Thanks!

I’m really not sure about ice fishing but if you’re willing to pay a guide you’ll have a great time! The walleye bite is on fire now on the Columbia around boardman. FCO or Flatout Fishing would be my choice. They slay! I saw an add FCO advertising $200 a seat.
