 I
am the owner/operator of Big Wally's Guide Service. I have lived and
fished on Banks Lake, The Columbia River, and Lake Roosevelt for the
past 50 years (or more). Following is a partial account of some of my
involvements in the fishing industry:

was flooded.
1962-1987 Lived in an area where I fished Salmon, Steelhead, and some
Sturgeon. Started guiding.
1987-1992 Moved back to Coulee City and my favorite fresh water fishing
lake. When I moved back I got into Walleye fishing and discovered my
real fishing passion. My guide experience covers the last 28 years of my
life.

areas, participated in Berkley's outdoor writers workshop in Umatilla,
Oregon, made a video for Walleye on Banks Lake with Wally Pease for KYVE-TV

Seattle, Spokane, & Moses Lake radio shows for the fresh water fishing
enthusiast, films made for TV and for sale with various celebrities,
articles in newspapers, magazines, and books, attended as a participant
in the National Outdoor Writers Conventions, taking outdoor writers
fishing, and shot a video with Department of Fish and Wildlife for NBC

various spawning projects and have a very close relationship with them.
