I should have given today's fish a 4 just because I finally made it out on the water. My last 2 trips got cancelled due to big winds. CF and I had lines in the water by 8:30 at the mouth of Crab Creek. We stuck with bottom walker/slow death rigs and tried multiple areas on the Reservoir. We got a fish here and there but never could dial in a pattern. We ended up with 10 walleyes, 4 perch, 2 catfish, 1 bass and 1 burbot(the first I ever caught at Potholes). Largest eye was 21 inches, all C&R. We wondered if the open spillway from Moses Lake had an effect on the fish today. The wind began picking up at 2 pm as we were leaving. As always it was a good day on the water.
