If you are planning on taking a fishing trip to the river, be sure to be prepared for just about anything. The prevailing wind blows east and the current flows west. That can make for some trecherious conditions which I found out the hard way back in 2004.  It took us over 2 hours in the dark to get back to the docks and the only thing we had guiding us was a beakon.  Basically the weather can turn on you very fast.  Yes, we were stubborn mules and wanted to keep fishing ahead of the front that was moving in.

Columbia river walleye fishing is all about "structure, structure, structure".  You can't go wrong purchasing a map of the river or the section of river you want to fish. Locate under water islands, find drop offs, find large bolders, larger holes for holding, fish below the dams during spawn, yadah, yadah, yadah.  I learned a great deal of this from walleye fishing secrets.

1. get Walleye Fishing Secrets and study the heck out of it
2. purchase a map, mark the areas you catch fish in and study other walleye fisherman

If you are serious about catching walleye, you should be a good student and keeping a journal of weather conditions, water conditions, color selections, etc will come in handy.  Making a mental note of things is good, but when you have detailed information that you can easily locate and study, it will make for a much better day on the river and it just might make your day.

Last Word on Columbia River Walleye Fishing the flow of the river can and will fluctuate. Don't be surprised to watch the water level go down 10 ft in one day or rise 10 ft in one day. Many a times we have parked our truck and trailer in what we thought was a safe spot only to find out that it was up to the axles in water.
