Fort Spokane opened both docks Saturday afternoon.. makes it easy to get loaded and unloaded one again with no waiting.. that's not the only good news however.. fishing is still great on the Spokane and Columbia.. water temps are going up.. right around 65 in the afternoon.. was fairly quiet as far as boat traffic .. fishing was good from the confluence all the way to porcupine and beyond.. this week the fish were bigger.. boated only 1 dink.. a nice 6".. well.. maybe 4" .. the rest were 15 to 19 and in total the two of us caught umm.. maybe 35.. keeping enuf to put some in the freezer. I am sure if I would have concentrated on a few hotspots we would have caught many more but I just wandered around putting in at some places I have never tried just to see what the contour was like for future reference.fish were caught no matter where we stopped.. some placed better than others.. green rigs seemed to take a back seat today.. pink was not offering anything like it usually does on the river there.. most fish were caught with gold. dragging around with a bottom bouncer concentrating on 10-20FOW.. closer to the 10 side seemed to work better.. boated one really nice rainbow as well.. right at 3 pounds..
