Billy Clapp wasn't included as we have such a small data set. Catch rates on Billy Clapp are pretty low overall. The average CPUE was 9 walleye per net and about 77 percent of the walleye collected were over 16 inches. We know very little about walleye fishing on Billy Clapp, although it seems to be less popular than Banks, Potholes and Moses Lake. In addition to walleye we collected several smallmouth bass. The average size was 13 inches and about 38 percent were over 14 inches.

Mike, I'm curious about the "other fish" caught on Billy Clapp. If you could email me the data at sbwarner@nctv.com I'd appreciate it.

Hello Yellowbear,

Noticed you were from the Potholes area and just wanted to see if you by any chance had any advice or recommendations of areas to hit up during this time of the year for Walleye? Also if you are going to be around the area in the next few weeks and would be interested in doing some Walleye Fishing drop me a PM so we can coordinate. I will be more than happy to provide the boat and gas if you would be willing to bring some good stories and put us in locations for some Walleyes on Potholes. Let me know. Tight Lines

Nate
