You are correct about the Black River, those walleye seem to stay in the river. I've caught walleye in the river from May to end of November, and some hogs when the salmon come into the river. I've caught them while trolling for salmon, most were huge females so I released them, some smaller 22"-24" males I kept for table fare, I see a older man and lady in a smaller aluminum boat drift down the river and jig from the first set of ripples down to the first island. I also caught my fair share in what we call the snake pit, it's a small pool right before it open into the bay on the right going with the river.
