Left Spokane at 8am and fought the fog from Airway Heights to the cutoff road, sometimes with no more than 50yds visibility if that. Always amazed at the number of drivers I see in those conditions with their headlights OFF and yesterday was no exception.

Anyway, fishing. I had purchased a new prop and wanted to swap it out to check it out, so made the swap and then headed for the launch. Boat in the water right at 11am and decided to run up to Two Rivers and try there. Nice calm water, clear, sunny, lots of boats and probably a couple dozen shore anglers enjoying the nice weather. We trolled around for about 30 minutes with only one hookup that made it within 15' of the boat before spitting the hook. Since I'm not fond of "heavy" traffic, we pulled the gear and went downstream.

As we rounded the bend just above Lincoln, I could see white capped water ahead. Alright, better fishing conditions! Nice wind chop and only a couple boats. With the wind as it was, I ran downstream so we could troll back with the wind.

The bite was slower for us yesterday, and not particularly good from noon on. Told Debbie it would probably pick again around 2 and at 1:45 we hit three in a row (5 in the cooler) before the wind blew us out of position. The dog needed a shore break so when we reached the end of our troll, I made a run to Sterling Point. Just can't seem to get her to piddle in a bucket. :-)

Back to the "spot" and again hit 3 in a row, but only 2 made it in the cooler, leaving us with 3 left to complete our limits. I trolled on to a couple other spots that have produced for us in the past, and one more went in the cooler. Gear up and back to the starting spot one last time and 15 minutes later our limits were in the cooler.

Gear stowed and heading for the launch just before 4pm. We long lined Rip'n Minnows in perch 195' back and a Kekada perch fly and Frisky Jenny Trick R Treat on leaded line 150' back. Flies were tipped with worm Trolling speeds were 2.8 - 3.5mph. Water surface temp ranged from 40.9 - 41.6.

Boat stowed away and heading for home at 4:45. The fog was just as thick on our return, maybe more so. I thought I was 3 or 4 miles north of Davenport when I saw the reduced speed ahead sign. That's what no visual cues will do. Oddly enough, the fog lifted before we got to Fairchild and was almost completely gone by the time we reached Harford Rd.

Seven Bays launch is in good shape with lots of gravel, but still wise to pull your boat out and let it drain/drip at water's edge instead of up the ramp. Just a nice courtesy for other boaters. ;-)
