We fished Spring Canyon one day, took a boat up the lake because the local spots were busy with other fisherman.  On a 128 mile resevoir there are lots of spots..LOL .  We found untouched waters and lots of hungry trout!  My Son and I went up lake yesterday and we had 10 fish in 2.5 hrs.  We ate hotdogs and hot chocolate and sat on a sandy beach in the sun!  We even took our two chocolate labs..

Not too much skill involved..LOL  No problem Jim.  The Rainbow will bite all year but it is from December through April is the hottest in my opinion.  Most of their diet is a krill of some kind, 95% of thier stomachs are packed with it.  The silvers should be heating up too.  I marked several down at 40 ft yesterday.  When it is sunny they drop from the surface a bit.  The siilvers are fighters and probably the best eaters for sure.  I had one on but that was it.  We troll a little for the silvers but normally just plunk the power dough for the rainbows!  LOL

Wow! You had a great weekend, nice catch!

We fished Sterling Point and couldn't get a bit Saturday morning. Tried the Fort Spokane area too and couldn't get one, we ended up with one on Sunday at Fort Spokane, not sure what we were doing wrong. It's a good thing we had steaks to cook up at night or we would have been hungry!

Bite was terrible today..had some friends come down and they didn't even get a bump.  I had several hits but failed to hook up.  The Lake is still dropping.  So the fishing was great the catching was terrible!

No I just fished from the bank. It was hilarious to see the Indians out there fishing with a krap load of their Walmart poles trying to jerk the fishes head off when they bit. I was going to give them money to pay for the comedy act. They would stand in the campfire smoke and puff away on a cigarette and I would yell hey you got a bite down here on one of your other poles.

Yelp do you fish the Coulee City end for Walleye? I have caught a few by the Sky Deck but nothing of substantial size.

Skyvalhunter - I fish all over the lake of course in a boat..Behind Steamboat Rock out in Barker Flats is a great area.  We fish weedlines in the 22-25' depth.  or we fish lighter tackle and fish the tops of the weedbeds.  Rocky points we will jig.  I pull lots of spinners.  Fishing can be hard some days.   I like cloudy weather with a little breeze.  Water temps in the 50's will start making them active.  THere are a lot of fish in that lake.  Coulee City side has a lot of fish too.  I fish lots of diffent underwater points and weedbeds.

That lake will drop 35' this year in august for spillway maintance. Its going to be interesting to fish if you can even launch anywere.
