Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:17 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    375,719 km
    Proximity:
    70.4 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Walla Walla

Fishing in Walla Walla revolves around access to the Columbia and Snake river corridors, plus the Walla Walla River and a network of nearby reservoirs and mountain lakes. This mix of big river, tailwater, and stillwater habitat creates a varied fishery where anglers can target everything from smallmouth bass and walleye to trout, steelhead, and warmwater panfish within an easy drive of town.

Seasonal patterns drive much of the action. In early spring, the Snake and Columbia warm just enough to kick off prespawn smallmouth and walleye fishing. Look for fish staging on channel edges, rocky points, and the first breaks outside spawning flats; slowly worked jigs, blade baits, and soft plastics are consistent producers. As water temperatures rise into late spring and early summer, bass push shallow around riprap, rocky banks, and island complexes, where crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater plugs shine on warm afternoons and evenings.

Summer brings stable flows and excellent warmwater fishing. Walleye slide deeper to humps, ledges, and current seams; trolling bottom bouncers with worm harnesses or crawler spinner rigs behind in-line weights is a staple tactic on both the Columbia and Snake. Smallmouth gravitate to shade and current breaks—target bridge pilings, boulder fields, and submerged rock piles with tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop-shot setups. Night fishing can be highly effective for both walleye and channel catfish; focus on gentle flats near deep water with cut bait or nightcrawlers.

For trout and steelhead, the Walla Walla River and nearby Blue Mountain streams offer cooler-water options. In spring and fall, cast small spinners, spoons, or drift natural baits through pools, tailouts, and riffle edges. Fly anglers do well swinging soft hackles and small streamers in spring, then shifting to nymph rigs and egg patterns during fall and winter steelhead periods. In high, off-color water, target inside bends, flooded brush lines, and any softer pockets out of the main current where fish can hold with less effort.

Stillwaters and nearby reservoirs round out the local scene. Many smaller lakes and impoundments hold rainbow trout, panfish, and bass. Early and late in the season, trout cruise the upper water column; slow-trolling small spoons, wedding-ring spinners, or streamer flies behind dodgers is effective. During the heat of summer, focus dawn and dusk for surface-feeding trout or switch to deeper presentations such as weighted flies and downrigged spoons. For panfish, search for weedlines, docks, and submerged brush; tiny jigs tipped with pieces of worm under a slip float are hard to beat.

Across all waters, presentation details matter. Water clarity on the Columbia and Snake can swing quickly—scale down to lighter fluorocarbon leaders and more natural colors when visibility is high, and upsize to brighter, louder lures in stained conditions. Current is your ally: position your boat or yourself so you can cast slightly upstream and work baits with the flow, letting them tick bottom or wash naturally into ambush points. Keep moving until you contact fish, then thoroughly work that depth and structure type before relocating.

  • Focus on rocky structure and current seams for bass and walleye.
  • Work softer inside edges and deeper slots for trout and steelhead.
  • Use electronics to locate bait schools, drop-offs, and submerged rock piles on big water.
  • Adjust lure size and color to match water clarity and forage.

With attention to seasonal shifts, current, and structure, Walla Walla’s rivers and lakes can produce consistent action for anglers willing to adapt and cover water.
