4/13/2021 5:09:51 PMBased off of what I have been seeing at the ramp, we are just picking up the slack for everyone else. All kidding aside, we release all obvious females and only try to keep males from 16 to 21 inches. The last two weekends I have given away my portion of the fillets at the ramp, while passing on information to help people increase their odds of catching more eyes. Glenn and I both show others exactly what we are using and in general where we had the best success. We also fish the Arm 50 to 70 days all year long. Want more success than put in the time to get to know the area better.

4/14/2021 8:51:41 AMHey Mark, are the walleye on the arm spawning right now? All the males dripping milt?

4/15/2021 10:16:01 PMJudging from the skinny assortment I repeatedly see caught and number of small eyes, the fishery is overpopulated. The fish need to be thinned out. No comparison to the fishery further South on the Columbia. Roosevelt has many more Walleye, such that the average size really isn't that big since they have emtied the fridge.
