My friend, Kit Carson (an alias, of course--- but his field-craft is top-drawer) invited my wife and I to go fishing with his wife to Lake Roosevelt. Of course we accepted and met at Ft. Spokane for an afternoon of trolling the shorelines around the public boat launch there.

We scored on smallmouth bass, using green wedding rings (!!) and rapalas. Kit was 'showing me the ropes' about Lake Roosevelt and how the small inlets and points along the shoreline hides different fish at different times of the season.

A good afternoon fishing and enjoying the late summer scenery around the shoreline.
