WSU bound

I am taking my son back to WSU tonight and fish the Grande Ronde / Snake River.  Last time I was over there the water was 38 degress one day and the next was 37.  Anyone want to guess what the water will be tomorrow?

Entire day...  Only one fish was on by another fisherman.  We moved from hole to hole.  We hit a nice hole targeting the tail out.  I use eggs that I cured myself.  My son does not have much confidence in my eggs.  So he used different jigs.  Well, that hole it was getting last light.  I tossed my eggs in and my 4th or 5th cast I have a take down.  I pull back and say fish on.  My son says you lucky son of a gun.  5 min later the fish is on the bank and it is a dandy hen.  Later to find out she has eggs.  Double bonus...   I walk over and load up some more eggs and next cast fish on.   5 min later it is a native.  SOB...  And very carefully release it with out touching the body.  Go back to reload eggs. My son is now feverlishly tying on a pretied leader to load up on eggs.  My son makes one cast and fish on.  Cast and cast some more then a take down and fish on and that was the little buck.  My son lost his fish about 2 min into the fight.  I am then tagged out and I am just loading bait on one pole after another.  Than cleaned the fish while my son fished and than it was time to head home as we left Puyallup at 2 AM drove to Pullman dropped his stuff off than headed to the grande Ronde.  I was pretty tired and I had to drive home.  Oh, I also had to stop by Safeway and Wallmart to by my son food and other stuff.  And I could not get out of there without buying him dinner.  He knows how my milk his parents.  I had to take a few naps on the way home as I could not keep my eyes open and ended up at home at about 4:30 AM.
