I decided to make a last minute trip up to loon lake with the girlfriend and weiner dog for some fishing. We got to the water at about 7, fishing from a private dock on the north side. The smallmouth were on tonight but where were the trout? I pulled in 5 smb, (1- 14", 1- 15", and 3 under 10") and 2 fat sunfish all using a rapala countdown in a shad color. On the other hand Lisa (who usually out fishes me) didnt even get a bite using roostertails, power bait, and everything else the trout up there usually go for. It was a bit overcast and not too many boaters on the lake, we will be back for sure

I've found that eastern washington lakes at this time of year are mostly a spinyray fishery on the general. For trout, you need to get there at day break when they feed before they go deep as the day proceeds. Try trolling around a black wooleybugger with a long leader and no weight. I used to fish the Quincy lake chain and the trout would shut off around 7 a.m. then it was bass, crappie, sunfish and maybe a perch stealing the limelight. Have fun.
