Today I headed out to Ft Spokane to chase some fish. I left home in reardan around 2pm and hoped for a night bite on the burbot. The road into ft spokane was getting pretty slick and the parking lot had barely been plowed. The ramp had 1.5" of snow on top of ice and I didn't bring chains, so I headed for 7days hoping for better launch conditions. Not far from the store I saw the first car in the ditch and decided not to press my luck, so I headed to porky......I didn't even dive off the hill as I got out at the intersection and it was slick and the snow was coming hard.

So today was a bust, but I found my chains and put them in the rig.....perhaps another day.

Please feel free to use this post to keep updating the launch status.

Sorry the day was a bust but glad you didn't push it and get to be the next YouTube star of stupid boat launch tricks :)

No problem. I live closer than most and just hoping to save some a trip ending in disappointment. At this time the launches east of Keller are too slick to launch wo chains.

Appreciate the report on the roads and the launches. Been itching to get down there but just the general conditions of the roads here in the Spokane valley have left me with some serious doubts about the long drive out there. Helped 2 rigs get unstuck yesterday out near Mica and they were both 4 WD, it can happen to anybody.

Thanks for the update on the roads. Better safe than to get into a bad spot

I made it to ft spokane yesterday night. The launch was 95% free of ice, the road gets compact snow around the mini storage so take it easy down the hill and it should be good to go.
