Confluence of the Big and Little Spokane

I was walking around in this area today and saw several anglers catching brown trout. Nothing too big but fish on. Everything in the world was being used for bait...worms, French spinners, small spoons, flies. The river current was REAL fast.

Did you find any whitie antlers?  I know down off the Columbia on any tributary coming in they get great fishing and they fish it when the water is moving heavy and dark.  The trout come in out of Roosevelt and they are hawgs.  The San poil near Keller is that way, and the mouth of the Kettle.

Hey Bone, that San Poil can be awesome for trout all the way up to Republic!  We have caught some rainbows all the way up to the 3 lb range just 5 miles south of town on 21.  Hell the river is only a foot deep in a lot of spots but they seem to make their way up from Roosevelt.  This fall while I am over scouting muleys, I'm considering hauling my Skeeter over and fish Roosevelt for smallies and trout for a couple of days.  Maybe checking up lake for hunting spots as well.

I've seen the indians hauling some monsters out of there.  I wonder if white man can get a permit to fish it or not this time of year.

I heard a rumor this fall that the Colville Tribe cut a permit for a guy to goose and duck hunt on their side of the Roosevelt.

As for finding sheds down by the river I did not because I was doing something else...launching a boat with no jet in a river with in a Kenai River current!!! For a brief time I was well puckered.

Pretty sure you can get indian rez fishing permits.  I think it's about $40.
