Fishing for walleye in Oregon should be planned well. Gear, equipment and bait should be prepared so as not to ruin the excitement. Choosing the season is also important when going fishing.

At spring time these fish move to spawn and tend to live in submerged humps of protected areas and gravel ledges. When you're going to fish in the summer, remember that walleye emerge during the evenings and early mornings and tend to submerge as the sun rises. The best bait during the spring and summer seasons are plastic worms, crank bait and jigs.

Fall on the other hand is the season where walleye surface during the mornings and evenings; the best bait are spoons, jigs and crank bait. During the winter, the walleye emerge only in the morning; they are less active and thus move slower to catch your bait. The best bait are spoons, jigs and plastic worms. 

Generally, walleye generates during spring time and can migrate from lakes to streams to feed.  If they can't migrate, they look for shoals or shallow bars with clean surfaces and bottom near deep waters.
