This report is a little late, sorry work got in the way.

Once again launched out of Ft. Spokane and headed up the Arm. We jigged the main river channel from buoy 1 to buoy 5 and caught 34 walleyes and 1 burbot. Most of the eyes were small but we did manage 10 nice keepers between 16 and 20 inches. I also caught and released a 28 inch 10 lb. hen. Same colors as my previous post with pretty much the same results. Some of the males were apparently very happy to see us if you know what I mean. There is going to be a lot more spawning areas available this year due to the higher water; should bode well for the future of the walleye fishery. Water visibility was still only about 18 inches and temp was 46. We caught fish in 15 to 35 FOW.
