Walleye

We cover a lot of eastern Washington walleye fishing. Although my home lakes are Moses Lake, Potholes and Banks, I do spend some time guiding walleye on the Columbia River from McNary Dam to Wells Dam. Walleye are the best eating fresh water fish. I start walleye fishing right after we finish goose season. As soon as the ice is off the lakes its go time. The river can be fished year around. March through June is the time frame to book a trip with Moons Guide Service!

Moses Lake walleye tend to be a better keeper size then other lakes. Many of hunting and fishing guests stay at the Best Western Lake Front Hotel in Moses Lake.
