I pulled Glenn's Lund to Ft Spokane on sketchy, slushy and icy roads. We launched and went out to the main Columbia. In the first 3 hours we had one eye. We moved around and over the next 3 hours we put 14 more eyes in the livewell. At first it was a beautiful sunny winter day. Then the wind picked up and it was a bit chilly. We moved to one final spot and put 10 more eyes in the boat in 45 minutes. That final spot is the only reason I gave the day a 4. For the last 2 weeks, only one jig combo has produced 95 percent of our eyes. We have spent a lot of time trying other combinations plus blade baits and jigging raps but the one black head and watermelon red flake swimbait is the only one that has produced consistently. If you think you are retrieving your jig slow, cut that in half. I only felt two bites today and I missed both of them. Find rock piles on humps and points in 35 to 60 FOW.
