I made another trip to Rufus Woods, hoping to have another busy day catching triploid rainbow trout. My fishing partners Keith Hiatt and Alex Saliby and I did. It took me a while to find the numbers of fish I was looking for on the Garmin fish finder, and I even moved locations a couple of times. When the screen was filled with fish, I would launch the Minn Kota and park on them. The fish were certainly more scattered than on my last two trips. Initially, the current was running so strong that I dug out some heavier jigs, and that helped. Actually, it didn’t matter what Keith and I tried, Alex caught fish after fish. He got a reputation for this kind of “fish hogery” when the three of us fished for bass at Banks Lake a few years ago. At one point I had all kinds of lead head jigs and grubs laid out on the back of the Smoker Craft for Keith and I to try, but we just couldn’t keep up with Alex. I must say that this batch of trout the Colville Tribe released are in beautiful shape, and we had blast catching them.
