WALLEYE FISHING CHARTERS

Lower Snake River Walleye

Reservations

Columbia River Walleye

Reservations

Walleye, so named for their eyes which, like those of cats, reflect light, are also renowned for their flavor. Their eyes also allow them to see well in turbid waters (stained or rough, breaking waters) which gives them an advantage over their prey. Thus, walleye anglers will commonly look for days and locations where there is a good "walleye chop" (i.e., rough water). This excellent vision also allows the fish to populate the deeper regions in a lake or river.

 

LOWER SNAKE RIVER RATES:  1 day trip: $200 per person.  6 people maximum capacity.

COLUMBIA RIVER RATES: 1 Day Trip: $200 per person.  6 people maximum capacity
