actually started fishing on sat may 31 around 930 am. i was fishing the toilet hole (by fort Spokane casino). fished for about 4 hours. not a bite. water temp was around 53 degrees. lake still pretty low. no bites went and had lunch took a nap and went back out around 600 pm. fished till the wind blew me off about 1000pm. 3 walleye and 1 missed bite. using bottom walkers and primarily red spinners with whole crawler. went up Spokane Sunday morning. late start. arrived at buoy 5 around 800am. lots!!!! of current. fished a big eddy with about 20 other boats for a couple of hours. saw about 10 walleye caught. none very big. started drifting with the current running a bouncer with various colored spinners. caught 1 walleye (while making breakfast). current all the way to porcupine bay. I normally do pretty good opening week( nothing big just lots of eaters). I think the cold fast water is definitely a factor. water kind of murky in the Spokane also. going to try again this next weekend i think. saw a few folks filleting some nice catches. one old fellow told me it took him all day Saturday to catch a limit of fillets. he was fishing mouth of Spokane and fishing drop shot very slowly. not hardly moving boat at all. lack of wind Saturday helped.
