It might be a real good year next year, since a lot of the fish I've been catching have been around 8 inches. I might go there this weekend and try renting a boat since I've heard they're lowering the water and try for walleye off Goose Island.

I didn't make it over that weekend. Had issues installing a new fuse block on my boat. We did go to Moses on the 14th. Never made it over to Potholes. Moses was on fire up crab creek (aka Parker Horn) on the sunken islands. I hope to head over that way at least once a week from here through Oct.

I've heard the docks at Mardon can be very productive for Crappie.

Yeah when my dad and I have went there in May we haven't had the best of luck with the walleye in Lind Coulee, only being able to catch one or two or getting skunked, it seems like every time we go there around that time the wind wants to blow like crazy so we don't go on the main lake. Most of the time we fish it during the summer and do well in our usual spots around the humps around Crab Creek, 3 areas around Goose Island, and one of the points in Lind Coulee.

Good stuff that you were able to get into fish up there. Never tried it out a boat in that area, I've only fished it once out a boat across from Cascade Park. Yeah I'm hoping to get out there too a lot until it starts to cool down, girlfriend kind of brought it up she wants to go catfishing out at Lyon's Ferry too though.

How's the water level down at Lyons this year? It's been years since I've been out there. Great place to fish...peaceful out there.

I may have to hook up with you guys out there in Spring for those walleyes. I do pretty good on Upper Goose but Potholes is tricky for me. I've done best in May working jigs around the back side of the little island on your right hand side as you head up Lind C. Hooked a nice channel cat off the island once too. Always wanted to try bank fishing that area at night but have never tried.

I haven't been back to Lyon's Ferry since my dad came over with his boat for our yearly catfishing trip in Mid-June so I'm not sure how it is now. It seemed like the water was low then though, I heard that people weren't having trouble going up the Palouse until it got lower around mid-May. Flows didn't really seem to be ripping through that bad when my girlfriend and I were fishing the main river in April and May.

I've heard it's good catfishing in Lind Coulee but I've never tried it, I know someone from another website caught a 27 pounder out of there last year or the year before using his ultra-light rods he was using to try and catch panfish. If the island you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of, that point seems to hold a bunch of fish in May.

Is that true?

I was at Ohop Wed. and it was dirty with some green stuff floating on the surface. Didn't catch anything of course.
