We launched out of Ft. Spokane around 8 AM and I have never seen that lot so busy! We managed to get one of the few remaining parking spots and headed up the Spokane arm after launching. We tried a couple of spots in various places that looked somewhat "fishy" up river and finally hooked a nice triploid near Blue Creek. We ended our day trolling around a green buoy with the number 1 on it. That is the furthest I have been up the Spokane and we were rewarded with a nice 18.5" walleye, our only one of the day. Incredibly slow day and lots of dodging recreational boaters and lake lice. Still, hard to beat a day on the water!
