MOSES LAKE: Reports from fishermen indicate that
there are a lot more walleyes in Moses Lake than in recent years.
A survey conducted in 1988 found many small, but fat and fast-growing
fish. Located adjacent to the city of Moses Lake, there
are several access sites for fishermen to use.
POTHOLES RESERVOIR: Located south of Moses Lake, this lake also has good walleye potential. There are several boat launches available on the south end around O’Sullivan Dam. Walleyes can also be caught in several of the Seep Lakes below Potholes. The best are Soda, Long and Crescent Lakes. Boat access is available on Soda and Long Lakes. BILLY CLAPP LAKE: Located east of Soap Lake, this lake’s walleye fishery is similar to Banks Lake, and may get walleyes migrating from Banks Lake through the canal. Access is available on the south end, off state highway 28 as well as at Summer Falls State Park on the north end. SCOOTENEY RESERVOIR: Situated between Othello and Mesa near state highway 17 in Franklin County, this component of the Potholes canal system provides fair fishing for walleyes up to eight pounds. Two boat launches are available on the reservoir’s south end. SPRAGUE LAKE: A walleye fishery is developing in Sprague Lake, following the highly-successful rehabilitation of this system in 1986. Located near the town of Sprague within sight of Interstate 90, this is becoming one of the best all-around fishing lakes in the state. Access is available on both sides of the lake. SNAKE RIVER: A few walleyes are caught in the Snake River below Ice Harbor Dam, but little is known of the extent of this fishery. Best bets for finding walleyes are the areas below the dam in the spring. Three access sites are available at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers near Highway 12, southeast of Pasco. |
