I have been super busy fishing away the last few days! The walleye fishing in the John Day Pool just continues to be on fire and when the wind cooperates, it has been some of the best eye fishing I can ever remember! Lately we have been trolling worm harnesses and spinners or smile blades. The fish are anywhere there is a break in the current. The flows are finally starting to drop a bit and the fish are spreading out, so there are lots of areas we can target the fish now! We fished yesterday and only saw a handful of boats on the water! We caught over 50 fish in a short morning of fishing, most after the wind laid up around 9 am. Speaking of wind, check the wind forecast in this pool. This is the one variable that will make or break your day. I am fortunate to have a big boat, so we can fish through the wind, but if you are headed out in a small vessel, you need to be very aware of the wind and direction it is blowing as you make your way back to the dock! If you are interested in this fishery, I have availability in the next few weeks, and lots of openings in July! This fishery will be good all summer! I offer great corporate rates and full boat discounts, so get a group together and lets fill the freezer!
