Trip Overview

Kicking off at the crack of dawn, you'll meet your captain at 7:00 AM sharp, ready to hit the water. This trip runs on select days - Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays - giving you a chance to dedicate a full 24 hours to your passion. It's just you and the captain, so you'll have their undivided attention and can customize the experience to your preferences. As the day progresses, you'll witness the river's changing moods, from the early morning calm to the golden hour and into the mysterious nighttime hours when Walleye often become most active. Pack your gear, bring your A-game, and prepare for an intensive fishing experience that'll push your skills to the limit.

Rods, Reels, and River Know-How

On this trip, you'll get to try out a variety of Walleye fishing techniques as conditions change throughout the day and night. In the morning, we might start with some trolling, using crawler harnesses or crankbaits to cover water and locate active fish. As the sun climbs higher, we'll likely switch to jigging near structure or deep holes where Walleye like to hang out. When darkness falls, we'll break out the glow-in-the-dark lures and maybe even try some night trolling with planer boards. Your captain will be there every step of the way, offering tips on presentation, reading the water, and making the most of your gear. It's a great chance to pick up new skills or refine your existing techniques in real-time, with immediate feedback from both the fish and your expert guide.

Why Anglers Are Hooked

Serious Walleye fishermen keep coming back to the Columbia River for good reason. The extended trip format allows you to really settle into the rhythm of the river and gives you the best shot at landing that wall-hanger. You're not rushed, so you can take the time to perfect your jigging stroke or experiment with different lure colors and sizes. Plus, fishing through the night adds a whole new dimension to the experience – there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling a big Walleye slam your bait in the pitch black. Many anglers find that their biggest catches come during these nocturnal hours when the river seems to come alive with predatory activity.

Target Species Breakdown

Walleye are the star of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These fish are prized for both their fighting ability and their excellent taste on the dinner table. In the Columbia River, Walleye can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They're known for their sharp teeth and distinctive marble-like eyes that give them excellent low-light vision – a key reason why they're such effective nighttime predators. Walleye tend to prefer cooler water temperatures, so spring and fall are often the peak seasons, but with the right techniques, they can be caught year-round. What makes Walleye fishing so addictive is their unpredictable nature; one minute the bite can be slow, and the next you're into a feeding frenzy. It's this challenge that keeps anglers coming back for more, always chasing that next big catch.

Time to Lock In Your Trip

If you're serious about Walleye fishing, this 24-hour private trip on the Columbia River is your chance to go all-in. It's a real test of skill and endurance, but the potential rewards are huge – both in terms of the fish you might catch and the knowledge you'll gain. Remember, spots are limited since this trip only runs on select days, so don't wait to book.
