Launched at Fort Spokane with all intentions of hooking a few walleyes. After jigging in the rain for about an hour and a half, we decided to drag a couple of lures around to see if we could find some trout. The Drum Dog, he's the giy in camo hiding from the fish, lands a nice 15 1/2" trout or silver or whatever it was. It must have been a girl fish. It hit a pink and silver qwik fish. About a half hour and a little motor trouble later, I boated the much larger 16" fish you see in the other photo. This one was caught on an orange and gold floating rapala. Both fish were caught trolling without downriggers. We fished about 150' behind the boat with spinning rods. These were the only two fish of the day. Things were a little slow and wet from the rain so we decided to call it a day. When we got back to the launch I figured, what the heck, I'm already wet, so when I went to step from the front of my new boat, I lost my balance, ran down the edge of the dock and managed to fall head first into the 38 degree water. That will always make for in interesting ride home. I would suggest waiting a couple of months before trying this. Unless of course you are already a member of the Polar Bear Club. "Happy Fishing"
