Don't get out as much after losing my main fishing partner of 35 years. Son prompted me out, and fishing was fairly good for winter walleye. It was sunny on/off and approx 52 deg's. We targeted the island in front of Boise Cascade mill. Fished in 25-34 feet of water and caught 11 walleye losing 3 others. We caught n released two teeners with the smallest of 11 fish caught being 19". Not bad fishing for this time of year. FYI for those who don't know, utilizing access via Casey's pond is best and shortest access to Wallula area walleye fishing thru this shallow bay....plenty good enough to travel via prop propulsion.

An added bonus to this fishery is the upcoming post spawn walleye season. Seems like every main river walleye migrates to the Bay Area just outside Casey's pond to fatten up post spawn. For anyone wanting to stock up on walleye, suggest fishing this shallow bay of Columbia just outside of Casey's pond! Upon entering bay, just follow along the train tracks in 10 ft of water for lights out fishing from mid April to Mid May. It used to be "our" gem, and hope it may yield the same for others. Coming up soon......enjoy!

Thank you for your report, always looking for a new place to fish for walleye. So sorry for your loss of your fishing partner. 35 years is alot of time and memories that will be hard to replace but you can be thankful for the time you two got to share and hopefully your partner was looking down on you and enjoying the day you had pulling those walleye in like in the past with him. Hope you keep wetting a line and have a good season.

Thank You for the report Wallula Walleye, if I may ask where is Lake Wallula located, is down by the confluence of Snake and Columbia rivers? And how do you get to Casey's Pond?

Great Report! if using the launch at Casey's pond how do you get out to the river? I'm assuming under the trestle? what is the clearance? Thanks!
