The number of boats fishing that spot since this episode is hilarious. RIP Willie, you are missed.

We went out on a charter with Walleye Willie and picked up almost 30 walleye over two days, plus smallmouth. Great trip!

I think regs have changed since 2015. I just checked the WDFW rules page and there is no size or catch limit for walley, bass, or catfish on the columbia river and snake river system.

Where is this?

[@jgabora]

Willie Wonka? You came up with it? Ha Ha. That is a Kokanee Salmon rig used in the Okanagan for years.

What depth do you fish for them? How far off bottom or off top?

[@fishmojo865]

Where’s your net, Willie?

[@robertlcrocker]

Why doesn't anyone mention that WDFW and ODFW hate walleye, bass, and catfish... that's why they changed the rules so there is no catch or size limit on walleye, bass, or catfish from buoy 10 to the canadian border and to the Idaho border. There are no limits on these fish. Our fishery managers want them out of the river... only a matter of time before they offer rewards for catching them.. the way they do with the northern pike minnow (e.g. formerly known as the squawfish).

On the Columbia and tribs

"I release all the big female walleye", is normally followed by complaints about how crappy the salmon run is and blaming it on natives gill nets. Keep them all!
