Ambient Temp: 70F

Location Fished: Midway Pens

Lure Type: Black Jig
Rainbow Power Bait

Bait Used: Shrimp

Catch Record: 3.4# Triploid (Jig)
4# Triploid (Jig)

Additional Notes:
Bites started out a little slower this morning, but then they started to hit, missed a couple but the feed turned on. No strikes on the power bait today. The larger trout had trout pellet mush gushing from its mouth when I caught it. Just gorged on it!
After my limit, headed down to Lone Pine area (10 miles farther down river) to try for wallys. Used a jointed perch Rapala and a homemade wedding ring harness, but no bites. Was able to mark a few more areas on the navigation system.

Glad to hear you were pulling in fish Mav186, but will be glad to see some walleye show up in your reports. We haven't fished for the walleyes up there, so I'm watching to learn.Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed report, it's great information. wishing you luck on your future trips.

Snake: The green things you see are Tribal tags. Each of my fish had one...Call the phone number on the tag, and read them the tag number.

Great job Steve - limits two days in a row! I've always wanted to try RW for walleye, but have no experience in that body of water other than the one day we met up with Lewis & Cindy. I'll keep watching your reports and hope for good words. :-)
