I didn't see any last year but I do remember this article in the Spokanesman.

I would say it was a trout. Never seen or heard of Kokanee in Curlew fishing it every summer for 20 years.
Trout and Kokanee can look similar but Kokanee have a forked tail and the trout usually have spots on the fins.

Unless someone bucketed some in.

Rebel is a decent brand, I've caught plenty of small bass on their craws. Like most inexpensive lures, the hooks aren't the greatest and may straighten out on a large fish and the paint might get beat up. Lure color that works will vary from day to day, lake to lake, weather, cover, fish mood, align...

I was always told that carp kicked up so much dirt and silt from the bottom that it smothered eggs of more desirable fish. I do know that WDFW actually put grass carp in some lakes to control vegetation.

good to hear, I fish the area a lot and I usually have a good time.

Probably Fiorito, there are a few others it could be but it is the biggest I think.

There are reports listed under I-82 ponds 1-7 separately and also listed just as I-82 ponds, there should be plenty of more recent reports.

They aren't bad, sometimes they are kinda dirty and crowded.

They Just number the larger ones 1-7 in order from Yakima headed E/SE to Tricities. I Think it list exit number on the reports page. I think they all have trout except 5 & 7 are warmwater only. 5 & 6 have catfish, though I've never seen any in 5. Lotsa perch and pumpkinseeds in all the ponds, most h...

Right up to Rosa Dam. And probably on the upstream side a bit.

Wow, much farther than I thought. Thanks for the info.

I'd probably be down for a WALAKERS float, but how far do smallmouth come up the Yakima?

I'm guessing probably not much past Prosser?

By all means smoke if there is nothing prohibiting it. Though it can be an annoyance to non-smokers and some people have reactions similar to allergies. If you wanted to be polite, you might ask if it bothers anyone, it would give them the chance to either speak up or at least not fault you as you g...

I've caught the most crappie in Ponds 1,2, & 5 but I don't actually fish for them.

PokeyPrasch

I don't do a lot of river fishing but I have a bunch of Swarming Hornet lures that have awful paint. I took the hooks off and used 5-6 layers of Plastidip (Camo & Blaze colors) and it's held up very well, it doesn't really chip since it's basically rubber. Then I went on a plastidip spree that my wi...

Pond 5 last weekend I caught 5-6 crappie on a lipless crank in 40 minutes.
...was not fishing for crappie.

I've seen it happen.

I would second Curlew, the bass fishery seems to have greatly improved over the last few years.

I also like
Riffe
Parts of Roosevelt
Mattoon (More of a pond, never caught anything over a few pounds but fun none the less.)
Evergreen Reservoir (Haven't been in a few years)

Evolve Topwater Pulse/Species Frog My favorite frog and summer confidence bait. They are discontinued, so ebay and a few other online stores are the only place to get them and soon they will be gone. These are a hard resin frog with a frog hook trailer, I have better hookups with this frog then the ...

My dad uses them when trolling, I personally don't use them.
