All that glitters isn't gold, this is my 18th year.
Last year they were doing a creel survey at the ramp and it was 1 walleye per 7 boats.
18 yrs and only 4 fish have gotten a ride back home, its allot like hunting big whitetails up in Canada in places like Alberta where you can't bait. But you do have that chance I guess.
Vast majority of your guides are salmon guys, not vast pretty much every one of them. They allow Indians to net and there is no limit on evasive species such as walleye, smallmouth and catfish. So the system has allot of things against it.
Would love to see a slot limit like tobin out there, it would give the system a chance.
Now days I think you'd have just of good of luck catching an 11-14 lber around Bis and 100% better odds catching one of that size out of Winnipeg.

There are 6 of us heading out to the Columbia on Wednesday. Weather looks good so it should be an awesome time, hoping we all get one in the teens. :;:cheers
Ha ha ha!!
This is someone that evidently has never fished out there before. You will be extremely fortunate to catch one teener in your group of six.
Its funny folks see a pic of a giant and think they are around every corner. We have went years with groups of 4-5 guys not catching a single teener. Hell folks go days without catching A single walleye.
And like I tell folks a 14 lber is 100 times harder to catch than a 13 and a 15 is 100x harder to catch than a 14 and it goes on.
Good luck, weather is a major factor so you have half the battle won.
