Now I'm not willie, but I trolled with plugs for walleye for about 10 years now. For speed sometimes they like it slower sometimes they like it faster. It also depended on how choppy the water got, if it was glass seemed like they prefered it faster. A little choppy but no whitecaps they liked it slower. I've trolled as slow as 0.8 mph (as far as i can remember), I've trolled at greater than 2.5 mph. Sometimes how much line you have out matters too. We have level wind line counter reels and will put the plugs out usually around 100-125-150 feet. And then as always you got to figure out what tackle they like on that day.

Obviously your fame is well known in Oregon. Friends of mine, here in Bend, have booked trips with you. Could I please ask you a couple questions? I am taking a couple neighborhood kids fishing in the Dalles pool next week. My question is about Walleyes. When I troll for walleyes is it a downstream only presentation or can I go both ways? Secondly I was trolling at about 2.5 mph before and I have now added a trolling plate to go slower. What speed do you like to troll?

Thank you for sharing your passion!

Fishing with Willie was one of the best vacations we have had. Not only did we catch our limit daily, Willie was an awesome guide!

I had a fear of going on the River, but it didn't take long with Willie at the helm that my fears subsided. The boat was the perfect size and we are now owners of a Lund ourselves, but we still look forward to going back to Oregon and fishing with WalleyeWillie. Maybe next year! Thanks again for a wonderful time on the River! An experience I will never forget.
