1/9/2016 7:59:00 AMKevinbe, Rosy may be big, but a change in level does affect fish behavior - went again yesterday (1/8) and the lake was down 4-5' from
Tuesday's level and the bite was almost non-existent. There were 4 boats launched at Ft. Spokane, I talked to one of them and they
said the same thing - if we got two fish we were lucky and they were the dinks too - no size to anything I saw caught. I'm out of the SW side
of Spokane, retired and can pretty much go like the cat, when I want, where I want, and try to catch dinner. All fish I saw caught yesterday
from the bank were on powerbait, mostly orange - tried worms and shrimp and all kinds of scent and nothing at all. Hook size is now
down to #12, small wad and only one marshmallow - scent seemed to repel them.

1/11/2016 8:47:00 PMThat's good info. I love bank fishing trout in the winter. I've previously only used worms and mallows, with limited success. I've noticed recently having better success since switching to power bait.
