1/19/2010 2:04:00 PMGreat report Tredfish, and an awsome catch. With weights like that, not catching alot takes on a whole different feeling. LOL. Thanks for posting your trip. Sounds encouraging for the lower end of the lake. Hey poacherpatrol, The water temps were holding in the 39* range liast week-end, so the warmer weather isn't having an immediate affect. Good luck tredfish on the next outings, and hope the blast and cast is a successful run poacherpatrol.

1/22/2010 7:21:00 AMI launch at Chief Joseph dam because I prefer to fish the lower pool and the lower set of pens. If you want to fish the upper pens it is easiest to launch at Seaton's Grove, but there is more current up there so you need a little more motor to get back up the river. You don't need a tribal permit to fish from a boat or launch your boat but you do if you are going to fish the east side of the lake from the bank.

1/29/2010 9:21:00 PMYou make me jealous, supposed to be over there this weekend going after 'em. Those are both beauties! Have you been fishing it much this winter? I have heard it has been a bit slow cause it has not been as cold as usual?? Do you know if the fishing is still good come the end of March?
