Memorial Day I usually skip fishing, but decided to try Potholes reservoir. Windy, but glad I did. 11 catfish, 9-24 lbs. 4 bass 14, 15, 17, and 22". And a big fat carp. All on bait, all on 4 lb test. I tried identical rigging with 6 lb test to no avail. Light line only, and every battle was long and adrenaline charged! Lind Coulee area. Shallow. Guy at Mardon said it was too early for catfish. Hmmm...

Going through the Yakima river canyon the mayflies were in abundance, in case anyone is interested. So were the cops. One guy blasted past me after tailgating, and they caught him about 3 miles later. Sometimes there is justice!
