My buddy and I launched out of Ft. Spokane on a brisk, sunny, Saturday morning. We fished casino flats, outhouse and neighborly with very good results. We caught a total of 34 eyes, 2 smallies and 1 whitefish. We released a 14 inch and a 5-6 lb. hen eye; everything else was between 16-21 inches. Everything but the smallies was caught on a jig in 12-43 FOW. The smallies were caught on a blade bait. Black and red jig heads with 4 inch green pumpkin chartreuse tail worms caught almost of our fish. Casting up on to humps and rock piles produced the best; there is just enough current for a nice slow drift and water clarity is very good. We had 2 five gallon buckets full of eyes that, when filleted, filled 2 gallon Ziploc bags to the brim. The increase in the limit a couple of years ago is definitely producing much healthier fish. I didn't include any photos because I forgot to take any before we cleaned our fish on the dock at Ft. Spokane; I think everybody can picture in their mind Ziplocs full of fillets.
