Launched the boat at Farragut State park about 7,, the four of us started trolling just off the dock and headed towards the other side hooked the first two fish within minutes... boated one and lost one.. as we headed toward the cement plant we passed though several schools getting several strikes ,, boating a few and loosing a few....we limited out by 2pm... most of the fish where in the 10-11" range but we did get two that where over 17" one was a a swimmer and swam right to the net while the other was a little more aggressive and put up a nice fight.... while all the fish where caught on lake trolls and spinners the majority where caught on Les Davis trolls With Rainbow ?? colored blades, with a high VIS Orange spinner on a 18" leader we where fishing 60' behind the boat ?? with 2 oz. or 80' with a 1.5 oz... We had three generations on the boat and had a very in joyable day

Hey mabee, the larger 2 look like juvenile Chinook! Do they have Chinook in Pend Oreille? Nice fish anyways.

There are chinook in the lake, big ones. Can't tell from the picture but there looks to be about three age groups in there. Quite a variation in size.

Those fish are rainbow trout. an easy tell for identification is the shape of the tail. Salmon have v shaped tails and trout species (rainbow, cutthroat and etc ) have square tails. The two large ones have squared off tails with v tailed salmon in both pictures. They are a nice bunch of fish.
