Left Spokane about seven in the AM on Saturday headed to Seven Bays through the unexpected snowy roads. Wait a minute I thought the snow was not supposed to get here until Saturday PM. So much for the weather report! Sure glad I have four wheel drive with studded snow tires.
Launched after being checked for fishing licenses by the Park Rangers. Never had that happen before. Headed down river towards Sterling and started fishing part way down. No love there on Rapalas or Kekeda flies. Dave got the fist fish, on a Rapala, when we went further down river. It was a dandy 19 inch wild (pictured). I got the second one after switching to the Perch Kekeda and it was a 20" wild also shown in the second picture. We worked hard , got nine and really tried hard for the last one. Had it on three times, twice on the Perch Kekeda, oops stepped on it and bent the stinger hook almost closed on one to the hooks. Just would not stay hooked up that way. Hooked up on Dave's orange jointed Rapala just before heading home and it came loose half way to the boat. That's fishin' !!

PS Found out you can purchase annual launch permits for Roosevelt at the store down by Ft Spokane. They open at 8 am
