I am finally getting some good reports on walleye fishing from both Moses Lake and Banks Lake. The fish on Banks Lake are still fairly deep, but catches are being made in the Barker Flats and Bird Island areas on the big lake. This comes just in time for the big tournament that will be held on the 17th and 18th. Big Wally’s Spring Classic is one of the biggest in our region. Gordon Steinmetz has run this one for year’s and is getting a lot of support from Valley Marine in Yakima. I plan to get close to this one this year, not fishing the tournament, but hanging around trying to learn a thing or two. I plan to hit Barker Flats myself, but for the smallmouth bass that often stage for spawning in this area every May. I have had some great fishing here in May, and hope to find them in good numbers and looking for a fight. On Moses Lake the fish are being found at the north end. They are being caught in good numbers, but mostly smaller walleye are dominating the catches. The bass fishing on Potholes has really taken off with heavy stringers taken at the recent tournament at Mar Don Resort.
