Launched out of porcupine bay at 8:45 with my son and brother in law. The Spokane arm looks like chocolate milk with a lot of floating debris. Fished the arm until about 12:30 for walleye not a single bite. Decided at that point to run up to Fort Spokane and try our luck there. The water quality got a lot better after you clear the bridge and my son hooked into a nice Kokenne. The fished weighed in at about 5Lbs (gotta bye a better scale) and was 28 inches long. We were using perch raplalas trolled just below the surface in about 60 ft of water at about 2 miles a hour. Only other fish caught was a "standard lake Roosevelt rainbow. Great first trip of the new year was able to shake off the cabin fever a bit
