for walleyes you'll want to concentrate your efforts out of twin falls....salmon creek falls reservoir south of town. other option is oakley res on that side of the state.

if you want walleye you are coming to the wrong place. bank fishing is okay for trout and mostly squawfish on the payette above horseshoe bend or bass and catfish along the snake from swan falls to marsing.

Watch out for snakes! I have heard that the Salmon Falls Canyon has lots of snakes, but I haven't heard of catching walleye below either dam.

Walleye Hunter. Have you ever seen SFCR? The creek below the dam is at least 150 foot drop. The F&G have done surveys on this creek and no walleye were ever found. Could there be some? Maybe but I doubt it. I have fished it many times and never caught them there. The dam over flowed once in the 1980's but Walleye don't hang out in that area of the dam that much from what I have heard.
So now your down to going after them. Ice has just came off the lake from what I have heard. For me I don't even think about going after them until the last part of May if it is warm or the first part of June. I do know that some guys have been having luck earlier but as cold as it is I just don't see you having much luck but I might be wrong. I hate to pop your bubble but it is snowing and cold here. I don't think you are going to have much luck with walleye. The perch and trout might play with your bait. Ron

If you're serious about walleye, the Umatilla/Hermiston Oregon area is about a 4 hour drive from Boise via I-84. Do-able for a weekend trip. Fishing between McNary Dam and the downstream Irigon or Boardman area you'd have a shot at a state record sized walleye this time of year. Forget about bank fishing. You'd either have to find someone in that area willing to provide a seat in their boat, or connect with one of the local guides. Probably more expense than you were planning on, but where else do you get a decent shot at fish weighing in at double digit weights. My first exploratory trip over there I hooked up with a guide to learn the waters, fishery, etc. Caught my biggest-ever walleye....a 15-1/4 lb female, that I released. Don't get over there often, but when I do, nice sized walleye, bass, and a few steelhead end up in the fish box. Good luck.
