I met a new acquaintance to paddle up Rock Creek to Bonnie Lake. He'd never been there but had heard about it. We met in Cheney ~0630 and were paddling up the creek in kayaks by 0700. NOTE: he had a very nice 13.5' fishing kayak, I had a 10' recreational kayak I'm slowly modifying for fishing. He had difficulty navigating the many twists & turns.

We finally made it to the lake and began fishing ~300 yards up the left bank. I was using a drop shot and night crawlers. He was using jigs and other lures. He hit several small (12 - 14") largemouth bass. I hit on 2 very nice (11") Yellow Perch, 2 smaller Perch (they went back to grow more) and ~5 Bluegill/Pumkinseed.

The wind was very brisk; it was pushing us along ~1 mph. By ~0915 he was cold and needed to head back.

Everyone had fun fishing. Oh yeah, those 2 Perch tasted mighty good when I cooked them!
