Rollie Schmitten's first-ever channel catfish was a real dandy. This one weighed almost 17 pounds and put up a terrific battle.

We were treated to a brilliant sunset as evening approached while we were at anchor at the mouth of the Walla Walla River.

Brian Nielson, of BJ's Guide Service, was along with me on my trip to Moses Lake for walleye. We didn't have walleye weather, but we caught 'em!

The walleye bite is on at Moses Lake. This is one of seven that we caught on a recent trip to the north end of the lake.

Shane's clients Pete (left) and Bob had a great time catching springers at Drano. Bob had been blanked three times in a row, until he called Shane. These two had limits in less than an hour the first day!

Shown here is Shane Magnuson (left) and I holding up a nice Drano Lake spring salmon. Now is the time to travel south on the Columbia River to find fresh and frisky kings.

The kokanee are entering the lower basin at Lake Chelan. The screen was full of fish at Mill Bay and Lakeside, but Richard Robinson and I only landed 5. They were all about 10 inches. It should get better, and I hope the size of the kokanee gets bigger, too.
