hello

[ladyfish]

Just looking in... a friend told me about this site... i love to fish.. am not proud... will fish for anything, with any sort of gear... have fly gear, spin casting gear, bait gear, asked for down riggers for xmas, but must have been bad since i didnt get any... Guess they dont fit my canoe... Do have walleye in my area... but dont know much about how to fish for them... Any suggestions for fishing walleye in lake roosevelt behind grand coulee dam?

Welcome! Sorry I don't know anything about the fishing in your area. There will be others on the message board that may be able to help you on your home water. You can find a great deal of info on this site and www.winnebagowalleyes.com Check out the articles on this site and the Winnebago site. Tight Lines; BD

Welcome to Walleye Central. I also don't have the answer to your question but i'm sure someone that hangs around here does. We're a very versatile bunch. I'd be more helpful but I'm a New Yorker so I'm limited :-)

Welcome to Walley central LadyFish! As everyone else has said, you will find the answers to your questions here. There are a lot of great people who visit this site. Hope you find as much enjoyment from it as I do. Good to hear there are other gals out there who love to fish. ;-)

Is the Grand Coulee Dam in central Washington ? Is it part of the Columbia River system ? Think I fished for salmon somewhere near there .

welcome aboard ladyfish!

i would access the state fisheries site and you will most likely find info about the walleye population, characteristics about the fish relative to the lake and catch rates. going further, you could contact the local biologist directly and ask him or her about their survey work which should put you right on the fish both in area and depth relative to the time of year they do the surveys.

good luck!

Gosh- Ladyfish - envious of your being able to fish the Columbia system - welcome to the
site - and surely any question you have will be answered in a timely and friendly manner.

ladyfish, the 'western washington walleye club' might be a helpful place for local info also. or 'walleyes unlimited of washington'.

no matter where i fish walleyes, anywhere in the country, at any latitude, a crawler harness spinner rig catches walleyes. consistent
with any impoundments i have fished, it seems where the "old river channel' swings in tight to the lakeshore is key walleye ground. sometimes you will have a huge cut bank there or rock slide visible from a long ways off.
keep us posted on your walleye ventures, ladyfish!

Check out Dan(or)'s "Good Partner" etc. post. I believe he fishes in your area.

[ladyfish]

thanks for the input... i was a bit unfamiliar with how to work with this site... forgive me for not answering sooner... will check out the site you noted... thanks!! tight lines and keep dry *S*

[ladyfish]

lisa: thank you *S* I'm sure i will enjoy the discussion! thanks for the welcome!

[ladyfish]

Juls: you bet!! enjoy being out with my fishing gear, hiking, canoe, etc... ... enjoy the many moods of the water... and the peace it brings... the diversion from the work day world.... thanks for the welcome!

[ladyfish]

Ness: have friends in new york ... and family in ontario... you have big water there on those lakes *S*.... glad to meet another who likes to fish *S*

[Ladyfish]

juls: thank you for the welcome *S* Likewise... am glad to meet other gals who like to fish *S*... the others dont know what they are missing, right? *S*

[ladyfish]

#49: *S*... i have bathymetric maps of the lake... and fish&wildlife info on where, how.... but, information from the locals seems to always be the best .... have been thinking about contacting some local guides, etc.... at least for a first outting...

[ladyfish]

Gil: awwwwhhhh.... after having seen our BIG river, im sure you might be envious... however, the preservation of that river is taking a big toll on our state otherwise... trying to satisfy fish flows, agricultural needs as well as municipal needs is a big challenge... but then again, we had that talk on our walk down the river walkway and back again didnt we ? *S*S*

[ladyfish]

thank you for the contacts... will look into them ! appreciate your input!

Howdy Ladyfish,

Welcome to the largest walleye fishing information location on the planet!! I can see you are already on your way to getting a heap of info, so all I will add is a big HOWDY!!

Have fun.............R

[ladyfish]

Bob: ok... have copied email... will follow with questions... thank you !

[ladyfish]

ADman... *S* yes... thank you *S*... looks like lots of information here!!

[cfwalleye]

There are plenty of people on this site out in the Washington / Oregon region. Try posting a message with a more descriptive heading (Walleyes in Washington or something). That will bring them all running.

Look for info from Donnie, Dan(or), and WAeyes....they all know the lakes. Also, give Gordon Steinmetz a call at Big Wally's in Coulee City. He and Don Hall can give you the walleye info on all the area lakes.

Personally, I usually don't get much further than Banks when i head to the eastern side but i hope to be fishing Rufus Woods at the end of the month.

Good luck
