Left Spokane at 6:00 AM roads were OK with some slick spots. Temp was 22 degrees. Headed North out of Davenport and the temp dropped to 17 degrees brrr....... Just as we were coming down the hill to Fort Spokane the road cleared out and the temp rose to 27 degrees! Amazing. Launched at Fort Spokane, clear dry ramp..Yes.

Started fishing just beyond the Marina on the south side. Caught first fish about 8:30. Three colors leaded line with Frisky Jenny Trick Er Treat. Finished out the day with two limits of beautiful chunky rainbows. Largest was 4# 11 oz 21" long.

Sun came out and it was warm inside the cozy top with the heater going! Great to be out catching fish in the winter.

Great fish. It's really nice to see the bigger fish showing up lately. Thanks for the report, looking forward to giving it a shot here in a couple weeks.

That's one pretty native 'bow. I agree with Dave, while the spring planters are fun to catch and great to eat, it's nice to hook into a big 'un once in awhile too. Thanks for your report!

Nope, won't trailer in single digit temps, and it was a brisk 6° here this morning. Tied up at home next weekend, so maybe the following weekend if the temps are nice. ;-)

That's a freak of a rainbow if I ever saw one! The jaw on that thing is huge, cutthroat/brown trout like.

Isn't the jaw bone extending past the eye? I thought Cutthroat only had that trait?

MB It does indeed look that way and that is a cutthroat trait....interesting!
