Glenn and I headed to Rufus Woods today and it was worth the trip from Spokane. We were on the water by 0515 and I caught a 20 inch eye on the first cast, so great start to the day. We fished jigs and blade baits till 1200 and the total catch was 17 eyes. We kept a limit of 10, all between 20-21 inches. Out of the 7 we released 5 were over 22 inches and one was 31.5 inches and 12 lbs. Glenn caught her on a jig, she was already spawned out so if she was still full of eggs she would have easily been at least 14 lbs. I am not going to say exactly where we were but if you fish Rufus for eyes it is not hard to figure out where to go. All in all a great day and I will have fresh Walleye fillets to grill up for my daughter who will be visiting today from Seattle.

P.S. We also caught 3 15-17 inch bows (cold water carp)

Launch out of Seaton Grove, go down river and fish above and below the island, target the current breaks.

Jigs and blade baits should do the trick and you really don't need to fish extremely deep either 20-30 ft should do it.
