Got to fish for a few hours wth Eastside Video Editor Marc Martyn. We had a great morning on the water/ice fishing for Medical's trout. I wll confess I'm not much of an early season trout guy and the ice on 3/4 of the lake was discouraging (not to mention the leak in my right wader foot!).

None the less, hooking into a nice 14" brown early on and seeing all the suspended fish on the fishfinder kept me warm. The brown came on a slow troll, deep, with a green flo wooly bugger. Marc added a couple on a black leech, but by 12:15 my toes had had enough.

Thanks to Dave H for the use of the pontoon!

You guys do know that Medical Lake does not open until the last Saturday in April......check your regs.......

Ouch, that's not good. I'm double checking and if it is the case this report goes "bye bye". Very embarassing.

Mikeji-

You really should keep up to date with the WDFW. Medical lake was changed to a March 1 opener.

Read the latest Weekender Report for Eastern Washington, 5th paragraph:

http://wdfw.wa.gov/do/weekendr/weekendr.htm

"Medical Lake, near the town of the same name in Spokane County, is still iced up, but is expected to provide open water fishing soon. Anglers following Medical's selective gear rules should catch large brown, rainbow, and tiger trout. Donley reminded anglers that only Medical Lake is open at this time. West Medical Lake remains closed until April 26."

I should never have had a doubt. Marc knows his regs. :-)
