Im thinking of bringing the JetBoat out and target some Athabasca Walleye.Ive never run this river before any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Im gonna be running a 17 foot custom cab foreward flat bottom with a 80 at the pump Jet.Thanks all
They like to hang out at current breaks where fast water zips past slow water they will be right on that break slightly in the fast water most of the time. Fish in the portion of the river that allows bait for your best chances.
Not sure what area of the river your fishing, but any creek mouths are worth checking out, and find current breaks and back eddys off points, or even sand bars that have deep pockets in front.

I know this sounds stupid.. But my friend fishes the Athabasca for walleye every September and does very well. He always uses crankbaits and he swears by the Cotton Cordell wally diver in silver as well as "clown". Also white crank baits with pink highlights work very well. If you purchase crankbaits that dive deep and hit the bottom, you'll catch more fish. But also lose a couple more lures. I'm going to potentially get out this year with the flyrod and see what damage I can do. Good luck man
The best and biggest fish I have ever caught have come out of the Athabasca river. Not sure were your heading to but all the info your getting is good.But the power of a 'Pumkin seed gulp jig" is amazing it usually out fishes fozzen minnows.The later in the fall you wait,the bigger and better the fishing get. do your self and your crew a big favor and go get some giants
