Pike High and Dry

Kettle River Campground on Lake Roosevelt.  At least they weren't smart enough to head down stream when the water went down.

Looks like a walleye in there too... you say this is a pool that dried up and left them stranded?

interesting? They drop the water every spring so the old flats come up High and dry. They will drop the water to where you maybe able to see the current rush from Kettle Falls.

cousin fishes some place up there and tells me he has some monsters following his baits all the time.

Oh ya and there is no limit on them if you chose to harass them.

I've had good luck with 6 inch long silver kwickfish,  pulled super slow on the top so it just tick back and forth.  I'll give it a jerk once in awhile so it'll try to dive then let it bob back to the top then slowly tick it back and forth.
