Has any fisherman on this board actually caught a walleye at Jordanelle?????

I am sure the news on walleye being there is so new noone has really targetted walleye. They don't bite like all the other fish in there. They will be more difficult to catch since there is so much crap on the bottoms of the lake there, a bottom bouncer will most likely get hung up in a tree or something.
Good luck to those trying for them though.

I never have, but I would think that they would hold deeper in a lake like jordanelle than most people fish for them, except for possibly at night. In a deep lake with sharply dropping structure I would expect to find them off of main lake points in 30+ of water.

[size 1]Fished the lake many times last year and found NO lack of pearch from 3" to 6". Twice I met and was surveyed by state Biologist running around in a Aluminum Boat about my catch. On both occasions he implied that Walleye were in the Lake, When questioned however he stated that in all his contact with fisherman he had not seen even ONE Walleye caught by any fisherman. NOW GO FIGURE The fishing methods (near the bottom with Jiggs- Throwing lures at shoreline structure) always seemed to catch plenty of Pearch and Walleye at Yuba COULD this be any different?????

last summer while fishing for smallies in the rockcliff arm i hooked an 8" walleye right about sundown using a pearl/chartruese curly tail while i was float tubin'. needless to say i was a bit shocked but i am 100% sure it was an eye.

jj74,
I believe you 100% so dont get me wrong. If anyone here catches an eye at Jordanelle and has a camera, take a photo that clearly shows its Jordanelle and that will help to quiet the skeptics.

Hey I wouldn't have gone there (70's) if not for the plaid slacks that you apparently used as fish magnets. Seems as though I had a pair in the green pattern that I wore back then. Moreover, I believe Travolta and The Bee Gees can claim the Disco Fever era as their domain with no threat from the rest of us. Heck if I had an 8-track player on the boat I might even think about playin' some Gloria Gayner or Donna Summer if I knew it would draw the fish in close today!!
