Boy, did I have a terrific Sunday. I had just finished loading my truck with my bank fishing gear to fish Rufus Woods from the shore Sunday morning. I was going to fish here before heading for the weigh in at the Banks Lake Triple Fish Challenge. Then my phone rang. It was Austin Moser, who wanted to plan a trip to fish Rufus Woods later this month. I told him about my plan for Sunday, and he said he had room for me on his boat Sunday, so I unloaded the truck and headed for Coulee Dam. The day started out very slow as there was no current and even more so later when an upriver wind began to blow. With amazing boat handling skill Austin got us on fish and we got four limits of walleye—even releasing at least four big fish. Incredible. Then I joined the crowd at the Triple Fish Challenge in time for the awards and got to see the Coulee Dam Chamber had out a ton of prizes, paying particular attention to the youngsters that participated. My hat’s off to the organizers who worked so hard to make this a quality event. What a great day!
