I grew up in North Dakota so walleye fishing is something I love to do. I live in Boise but my parents live in Twin Falls so we go to Salmon Falls quite often. There is only one dock area close to the dam on the north end. There are various other dirt roads on both the east and west sides but the roads on the west can be pretty rough.
We've always enjoyed fishing out there but I have a nice boat so we run all over the lake. There are some monster trout out there and the perch fishing has always been good for us. I took a good friend of mine and his two young boys who never fish and we had a day last year where we caught over 150 perch in about 5 hours. I kept about 20 nice ones and cooked them up for them and they are still talking about that day!
The walleyes are out there but it's not the norm to catch a lot of big ones. I'd say normal is closer to a pound or two. I did find a 9.9 last year which was awesome but that is by far the biggest I've ever caught. I see on the stocking reports that they've dropped a million steelhead in there in the past couple of years which should be really fun! I've never caught a koke out there but I've never gone after them specifically.
