I know all of you Spokane river trout fanatics won't enjoy this report.
Sunday decided to hit the Spokane river to try to catch some larger smallies then the usual 9-10".
I wont tell you where, well alright, (between barker and starr road) LOL.
I decided to fish with a sink tip with a pattern I call the twisted sister. picture attached along with a picture of the size smallies I caught. Everyone says the larger smallmouth are not in the river, well there is proof of a 17" fish and they were fat, and now that the water has warmed up they are fighters.
I had a blast, caught 6 of the size in the picture and about a dozen of the 9-10" ones.
Had a great trip. I think as far as the upper river redband goes, Spokane is going to become a great smallmouth fishery, whether we like it or not.
