Volume 14.6
I worked some of the early shows
of the International Sportsmen’s
Exposition. Later on I started doing seminars all over the place.”
I could list a pile of Doug
Allen’s accomplishments in the
field of walleye fishing but let’s
just consider a couple. One is
that he currently holds the record
for the Columbia River Walleye
Circuit for the largest poundage of
fish caught out of the Columbia in
a two day contest.
Improve Your
Walleye Fishing
“Learn Before
You Launch”
Part 1
I have a suggestion for the increasing number of Pacific Northwest fishermen who have interest
in catching walleye.
We’ve all heard that old business about “look before you leap”
Follow my suggestion and you’ll
have a chance to “learn before you
launch” when it comes time to
putting walleyes in the boat.
So what’s my suggestion?
Simply this: Keep your eyes and
ears open for a guy named Doug
Allen. This resident of Yakima,
Washington has been appearing at
seminars, outdoor shows and other
spots around the Pacific Northwest
for a long, long time. He can, in
fact be called one of the pioneers
of walleye fishing especially
where Washington State is concerned.
You can learn from an experienced walleye expert like Doug
Allen. He’s caught a bunch of
dandies like the one he shows
here.
Allen, now 60, is a retired
Lund boat dealer. If you know
beans about boats you also know
that the Lund is a favorite among
walleye anglers. Doug will tell
you that it was the keen interest
walleye anglers have in the Lund
line that got him into fishing for
these toothy critters in the first
place.
“Getting into walleye fishing
went right along with my boat
sales,” Allen says. “They don’t
make a better boat for walleye
angling than the Lund. I started
talking about walleye in 1976.
He earned that record by boating 73.28-pounds. Keep in mind
that the limit was six fish per day
and that only two of those fish
could be more than 24-inches in
length. The total weight he racked
up broke the former record by 8pounds.
He was the Columbia River
Walleye Circuit’s “Angler of the
Year” in 2005. He also held the
weight record at Moses Lake for
a couple of years before it was
broken.
Need additional reasons to
understand why I say Allen’s a
guy you need to give your full
attention if you want to put more
walleyes in the boat? Well, here’s
another one. How many anglers
do you know who have walleyes
of more than 18-pounds to their
credit? Allen does. The monster
walleye he took out of the Columbia River a few years back actually weighed 18.5-pounds.
(Continued on Page 2)
(Continued from Page 1)
Doug personal best fish came
on the Washington side of the
Columbia River just below McNary Dam. Some of the river’s
big walleyes had congregated just
below the dam and were feeding
on whatever came through the
turbines. The big one grabbed a
floating Rapala that Doug worked
through the rocks right below
McNary.
That’s enough about his credentials. More important from
your standpoint and mine is that
he enjoys sharing his knowledge.
If you’re a resident of the Spokane
area and you attended the February outdoor show that was staged
there you might have seen evidence of what I’m talking about.
Some time ago Allen created
a unique display of Mack’s Lure
Smile Blades®. He has used it to
make points that he emphasizes
during his presentations. Doug
didn’t display the board himself
in Spokane. He gave it to Bob
Schmidt, the president of Mack’s
Lure, and Bob took it to the show
himself. The display board shows
all of the different Smile Blade
sizes as well as the different patterns in which they are available.
I live way the heck and gone
from Spokane but I still heard
about the cork display board Allen
had made. It’s one of the reasons
I made it a point to get hold of
him to hear for myself some of the
thoughts he’s been sharing with
fellow walleye anglers for so long.
I found out a couple of things
right quick. Allen had his reasons
for preparing that Smile Blade
display as he did. Smile Blades®,
you see, play a major role in his
own walleye angling. The options
the different sizes in a variety of
color patterns give the user are
basic to his entire approach to
walleye fishing. They work for
2
Smile Blades® play a major role
in Doug Allen’s approach to
walleye fishing. Here Ted Beach
shows the Smile Blade® display
board that Allen created and has
used in some of his seminars on
walleye fishing. The board gives
Doug’s seminar audiences an
excellent view of the color and
size of the available color and size
options of Smile Blades®.
Walleye anglers have to “Match
the Hatch” to come in with catches like Doug Allen displays here.
Mack’s Lure Smile Blades®,
because they come in so many
different sizes and colors, make it
easy to do that.
(To Be Continued)
him and they’ll work for you.
Best of all, a good bit of what
he discloses in his seminars is
there for you to digest before you
ever get near the water. That’s
why I made that comment earlier
about the chance to “Learn before
you launch.”

Beer Bathed Barbecued Ribs
Prep time: 15 minutes
Marinating time: about 2 hours
Grilling time: 2 to 3 hours
2 racks baby back ribs, 1-1/2 to 2
pounds each
1 package Weber® Grill Creations® Mesquite marinade mix
1 cup beer, divided
1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and
puréed
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime
1. Remove the thin membrane
from the back of each rack of ribs.
Lay the ribs on a large rimmed
sheet pan.
2. In a small bowl combine the
marinade mix with 1/2 cup of the
beer. Brush the wet marinade over
both sides of the ribs. Cover with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2
to 4 hours.
3. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before
grilling. Meanwhile, prepare your
grill.
4. If you are using a charcoal grill,
fill a Weber® RapidFire® chimney starter to the rim with charcoal
4
and burn the charcoal until it is
lightly covered with ash. Spread
the charcoal in a tightly packed,
single layer across one-half of the
charcoal grate. Put the cooking
grate in place, close the lid, and
let the charcoal burn down to low
heat.
If you are using a gas grill, preheat
your grill on high until it reaches
500°F. Then turn the burners down
to low heat (250°F to 300°F).
5. Brush the cooking grate(s)
clean. Lift the ribs from the sheet
pan and reserve the excess liquid
that drips onto the sheet pan. Cook
the ribs, bone sides facing down,
over indirect low heat (250°F to
300°F), with the lid closed, for 1
hour. Meanwhile, pour the liquid
from the sheet pan into a small
saucepan. Add the remaining 1/2
cup of beer, the mango purée,
brown sugar, and lime juice. Bring
the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 1 minute
and remove the saucepan from the
heat.
6. After the ribs have cooked for
1 hour, brush them lightly on both
sides with the beer mixture. If you
are using a charcoal grill, add 8
to 10 unlit charcoal briquettes to
the fire now and after each hour
of grilling time (to maintain the
temperature between 250°F to
300°F, open and close the top
vent). Continue to cook the ribs
over indirect low heat, with the lid
closed as much as possible, until
the meat is tender and has shrunk
back from most of the bones by
1/4 inch or more, brushing the ribs
with the beer mixture every 20 to
30 minutes. The total cooking time
will be 2 to 3 hours.
7. Transfer the ribs to a clean sheet
pan and tightly cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 to 15
minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Serve warm.

I loaned 3 bottom
bouncer molds out
to our members and
have gotten only one
of them back. I need
to have those persons
return the molds as
I have a lot to pour.

Tis the season for the Pikeminnow Sport reward Program and
it began on May 5th. Remember
you do not have to pre-register and
you can turn in your pikeminnow
to Larry McClintock and the club
gets the money.
This is a great program for
our club and we have obtained a
dual tournament for the club for
walleye and pikeminnow agin this
year. All the pikeminnows caught
during the tournament go to the
club.
Good luck and tight Lines!
We Need Lead!
We need to get more lead for
the club if we are going to sell it at
the sport show. We are ging $1.50
per pound for every pound ofclean
lead that is donated to the club as a
tax write-off.
We need your help to acquire
these precious supplies. We need
about 6 tons to complete all the
demands for 2008 and the sport
show.
Even if we do not reach our
goal we welcome all the lead
donated. The lead can be taken to
larry McClintock, 503-257-0553.

Pikeminnow fishery
begins May 2, 2005
on Columbia River
system
VANCOUVER- A program
that pays recreational anglers to
harvest northern pikeminnow from
portions of the Columbia River
system begins May 2.
Now in its 15th season, the
Northern Pikeminnow Sport
Reward Fishery is funded by the
Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA) and implemented by the
Washington Department of Fish
and Wildlife (WDFW).
Aimed at reducing pikeminnow predation on juvenile salmon,
the reward fishery is part of BPA’s
salmon-enhancement work under
the 1980 Pacific Northwest Power
Act.
The program pays recreational
anglers to harvest northern pike-
minnow nine inches or larger from
the lower Columbia River between
the mouth and Priest Rapids Dam,
and on the Snake River from the
mouth to Hells Canyon Dam.
Anglers interested in participating in this year’s fishery can
sign up beginning May 2 at any
registration station below the John
Day Dam in Klickitat County.
Registration stations located above
the John Day Dam will be set up
May 16.
A complete list of registration locations is available on the
northern pikeminnow sport reward
program website, at http://www.
pikeminnow.org/.
The program will offer anglers
who harvest and turn in the predatory fish $4 each for the first 100
northern pikeminnow; $5 each for
101 to 400 pikeminnow; and $8
each for pikeminnow in excess
of 400 fish, said Eric Winther,
WDFW northern pikeminnow
project leader. Fish marked with
“spaghetti” monitoring tags behind the dorsal fin will continue to
be worth $500 each.
The top angler last year caught
4,264 pikeminnow and earned
more than $34,000, Winther said,
and pikeminnow-fishing conditions should be excellent this year.
“River levels in the Columbia
River are expected to be below
average this season and while that
may not be good news for salmon,
it is typically results in better catch
rates for pikeminnow anglers,”
he said, noting that the traditional
peak harvest period for the fish
is late June but could be earlier
this year because of lower water
levels.
Anglers participating in the
2004 fishery harvested a record
267,000 northern pikeminnow.
Since 1990, the fishery has removed more than 2.3 million
northern pikeminnow from the
Columbia and Snake rivers, resulting in an estimated 25 percent
reduction in pikeminnow predation on juvenile salmon.

Wet, cloudy and windy was the weather for the day. It did not rain
very much but the wind was quite strong. We were onthe water at 7:00
a.m. and off by 1:30 p.m. The water was about 50 degrees and we had 3
to 4 foot swells at times.
Boat 1 Lonnie & Valerie Ireland and Norm Flener caught 6 walleye.
Boat 2 Sam Caliva, Steve Brownfield and Lyle Amundson caught 5
walleye.
Boat 3 Bill Schumacher caught 1 walleye.
Other fish caught were smallmouth bass, sucker, perchand sturgeon.
The walleye were not big but we had a good time on the water.
Bill Schumacher thought he had the mother of all walleye on but it
turned out to be a sturgeon instead. Sorry Bill!

Equal ProtectionByUnder the Law?
Larry McClintock
The Humane Society of the
United States, an animal rights
group similar to PETA, has filed
a lawsuit to stop the killing of the
sea lions below Bonneville Dam.
This will deter any actions to help
save our salmon from these invasive predators for another year at
least and maybe longer, according
to government sources. I am confused! The Humane Society of the
United States was one of the organizations that were FOR the killing
of the problem wildlife in Oregon
instead of relocating them. Just
what the hell is going on? Now
they are trying to save the problem
wildlife, these sea lions, that are
not just killing our salmon but our
breeder sturgeon along with some
of our other trophy fisheries in the
Columbia River, Willamette River,
Clackamas River, Lewis River and
the Cowlitz River to name a few.
Talk about speaking out of two
sides of your face at the same time,
this is a very good example!
As a response to the lawsuit
filed by the humane society of the
United States a counter lawsuit
needs to be filed to stop the killing
of ALL wild salmon. Since the stellar sea lions and the wild salmon
are protected by the same law, the
Endangered Species Act. I believe
that the same amount of time should
be provided for not killing any wild
salmon as it will take the different
government factions to figure out
what they are going to do with the
lawsuit to stop the killing of the sea
lions. The Marine Mammal Protection Act on the other hand protects
California sea lions, but an amendment to this act also allows for the
lethal removal of some animals at
the request of the states. So when
Oregon, Washington and Idaho requested the lethal removal of these
animals to help protect our salmon
100 miles from the ocean, why is
the humane society of The United
States stopping this progress? Or-
egon, Washington and Idaho have
all requested this action after trying
many other non-lethal options to rid
us of the problem. And yet the humane society of the United States
interferes with the process and they
are only addressing one issue and
not looking at the totality of the
problems created by these invasive
sea lions. They are not considering
the fact that these invasive animals
are destroying more than just the
salmon, or threatening people.
It is necessary to keep the
treatment under law equal for all
species governed by it. This means
if there is no harvesting of the sea
lions then there is no harvesting of
any percentage of wild salmon by
any person or any group and this
includes commercial entities. This
means all wild fish must be released
unharmed by commercial fishermen and the sportsman alike! The
sportsmen are currently releasing
the wild salmon and it is mandatory by law. However, the commercial entities can legally keep them,
as an incidental catch when they
are dead in the nets. Well I was not
planning to catch a wild salmon
and I did not target the wild salmon
but I caught a wild salmon by accident. As a sport fisherman, by law I
have to release it unharmed and it
cannot leave the water. BUT,
(Continued Page 9)
8
unfortunately, the commercial fishermen don’t have to worry about
that portion of the law because they
can keep the dead ones and sell
them legally. Why? Because a lot
of people who have a taste for salmon and cannot catch them for themselves want them and the salmon
were caught accidentally, and they
were dead when they pulled up their
nets and those that are still alive are
thrown back but the fatality rate of
those thrown back is about 40%.
Guess what? The Humane Society
of the United States could care less
about this portion of the endangered species act entirely. If this is
not true then why are they not raising hell about the wild salmon that
are being killed by the commercial
entities? Does the same law not
protect them? Are people not killing the wild salmon? Should it not
be the same for the sea lions as it
is for the wild salmon? Why is the
humane society is only concerned
with some animal protection laws
and not all of them?
It is not about being anti-fishing in any respect but rather it is in
fact about equal treatment under
the law for ALL species!
The law should not be manipulated to the whims of special
groups, but enforced the same for
all endangered species. If one endangered species can be harvested,
then all endangered species should
be available to be harvested. If one
is protected from being harvested,
then ALL should be protected from
being harvested. If there are provisions in the law to remove those
species that are menacing and invasive then why can it not be implemented to protect other species
they are decimating without the
meddling of special groups? If they
were so concerned then why were
they not there when the laws and
the amendments to the laws were
made to express their concerns?
It is unfortunate to say the least
that there is a double standard when
it comes to protecting our valuable
resources and enforcing the laws
equally. Because of special interest, enforcement has exceptions
for special groups and not for the
welfare of the species they are proclaiming to protect. Unfortunately
it will be by man’s greed and failure and inability to enforce the laws
that will play a major roll in losing
our wild salmon!
One more thing to consider is
that the salmon are in their natural
environment; they do migrate up
river to spawn. The seal lions are
not in their natural environment;
they are SEA lions, NOT fresh water lions. They belong in the ocean
and those that venture up river a
hundred miles and out of their natural environment to wreak havoc on
any species should be considered
to be invasive and the appropriate
action needs to be taken. The same
action that we take for any invasive
species, eradication! Sea lions regardless of species do not belong in
the Columbia River below Bonneville Dam, or in the Willamette River
below Oregon City Falls, or in the
Clackamas River, or in the Cowlitz
River, or in the Lewis River; this
is not their native water or habitat.
When I was growing up and fished
at Bonneville Dam, and in the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers for
salmon and steelhead we never
saw any species of sea lions feeding on salmon or any other fish, or
was I prohibited from getting to my
boat because the sea lions were on
the docks blocking my path. Now
it is a common sight and they are
invading new territory outside of
their natural domain. Their native
areas are along the coast in SALT
water and if the government wants
to protect them where they are in
their own habitat, then so be it. If
the zebra mussel were to invade
our rivers we would spend literally
millions up on millions of dollars
to get rid of it, because it’s an invasive species that does not belong
in the Columbia or any of our rivers. We would not hesitate to begin
the program of eradication, federal
and state governments would react immediately and the process to
eliminate this species would begin
at once and without hesitation. But
when invasive species, like the seal
lions have gotten into the same area
and are out of their native environment, special groups, the federal
government as well as state fish and
wildlife agencies won’t do a thing
to effectively and rapidly deal with
the problem. Instead they drag their
heels and come up with all kinds
of excuses as to why we can’t rush
into a logical decision and take immediate action to rid us of the problem. Unfortunately special interest
groups like the Humane Society of
the United States are only interested in saving certain species. By
their actions and involvement they
do not want to protect some of our
most valuable resources, such as
our wild salmon, that are also protected under the same laws as some
of the animals they are so involved
with. Why is not the Humane Society of the United States spending
the same effort to save our wild
salmon from being harvested commercially in the Columbia River as
they are trying to protect the invasive sea lions?
If the sea lions, regardless of
species, are out of their natural
environment and in an area that
is causing major problems, they
should be fair game and the states
should be able to issue tags for
public harvest. Oregon, Washington and Idaho could share equally
in the bounty and the public would
willingly join in the removal of the
problem. In turn the states would
spend less to rid us of the problem
and would most likely make several thousand dollars in the process
that they could reinvest in saving
the salmon. Most importantly we
could control the invasion of an
invasive species that does not belong in the rivers 100 miles from
(Continued Page 10)
9
the ocean.
Unfortunately it is going to take
more than eradicating the invasive
sea lions to save our salmon, but
promptly taking care of this problem is only one step of many that
needs to be taken to save this valuable resource.
When these special interest
groups such as the humane society
of the United States, the federal
agencies like NOAA and state fish
and wildlife officials finally get off
their butts and decide to take action
it may be too late and each of them
can pat themselves on their backs,
shake their hands and congratulate
themselves for helping to destroy a
valuable resource, because of NO
ACTION TAKEN when it was
needed!
New HummBait
Making Waves
for Several
Species of Fish
It’s not often that something
unique comes along in the fishing
industry these days. Most new introductions are simply new twists
on an old theme. That’s what
makes the new HummBait, introduced by Mack’s Lure Company
in April 2008, so different. “It’s
hard to put this bait in a category”,
said Bob Schmidt, general manager of Mack’s Lure. “I suppose
you could call it a spinner, since it
spins, but that would really not be
doing it justice. In fact, it is really
in a category of its own.” When
you think of a spinner, you think
of something with a blade, but the
HummBait doesn’t have a blade,
the entire outside body of the
blade spins, creating a truly unique
10
combination of flash and vibration
that is something fish have never
seen, or sensed, before. It’s in a
category of its own because it can
be fished in so many ways and for
virtually every fish that swims in
fresh water, and even many saltwater species.
According to Bernie Barringer,
director of marketing and promotions for Mack’s Lure, Pro-staff
members have been testing the
lure in many situations and they
are really excited about it. “This
bait has proven remarkably effective on more than a dozen species
of fish before we even introduced
it,” he said. “I think we have a real
winner here. This is a truly unique
bait with so many applications that
we have really only scratched the
surface. You have to see it in the
water to really understand how
good it looks, and the flash and
vibration it causes is really going
to trigger bites from even the most
pressured fish because it is something they simply haven’t seen
before.”
The HummBait has a baitfishshaped body built onto a shaft so
the entire body rotates around the
shaft as it is retrieved. This creates
the illusion of a lifelike 3D object
moving through the water, making a commotion. It has proven
effective on straight retrieves, with
a lift-drop retrieve, fished fast as
a top water bait, and even fished
vertically as you would a jigging
spoon. “Its versatility is quite
astounding,” Barringer said. “And
people are fishing it successfully
in new ways all the time. I have
thought of several more applications that I can hardly wait to try.”
The HummBait comes in 40
different combinations of colors
and sizes from the diminutive
1/16-ounce, which is suitable for
panfish and trout, up to the ½ounce fat shad, which has proven
deadly on everything from bass,
northern pike, walleyes and
muskies. Schmidt feels that the
new HummBait is going to create
