Got on the water at 8:15, water temp 44.7 and calm[]

First taker was a walleye on a perch storm lure. then it was quite slow till we moved into a little bay with a purple roadrunner which was kept by a heavy feeling specimen after a brief tug of war.

Switched to a chartues roadrunner and the trout loved it. The second walleye couldn't understand all the commotion and decided to join the the rest in the basket.

Lost 4 other trout just at netting time where they introduced me to there catch at release philosophy.

Other than the "breeze" move us in every direction other than the one we wanted to go it was an awesome day. Only used 1 doz. worms 3 to go before soft water ends.

Marked what I think was crappie but still no volunteers[frown] When am I gonna learn?

Think I am in need of another battery only getting 4-5 hrs now, thats OK unless a big wind comes up.

Here's some pic, enjoy.

Walleye are one of the fish on my list that I still have not caught. I am going to have to make a trip down there sometime.

Looks like your are figuring them out.

Big Sand Bay is a part of Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. Going south on 93, passing Rogerson there is a Public Access sign for Grey's Landing and Big Sand Bay. Grey's is all the way in on the main gravel road and the turn to Big Sand Bay is unmarked but is the only gravel to the left (cattle gaurd is there also) and you stay on the main road till you reach the water. BLM has maps of Salmon (Salmon Falls Creek Res.) available.
