Went out Friday to 9 mile recreation park. It's on the Spokane river, but it's upstream from 9 mile dam. We just used selective gear rules because better safe than sorry. Lots of weeds in the body of water. Hooked some small small mouth. Landed a little largemouth. Brother hooked something big on the dropshot on the way up. Big trout, got off at the boat. Then my dad threw out a big Kastmaster hooked the trout it rose, looked about 20 inches. Shook free at the boat. Brother landed a 13 inch hatchery rainbow, with the Spokane river you can keep 2 hatchery rainbows. So we threw that one in the cooler. Kept fishing he hooked another fish, as this one came into the net I knew it was different. Took a quick pic and released it untouched. To me it looks like a wild chinook salmon, not sure at all how it could make it past the dam. Kept fishing with trout magnets and caught little smallmouth, and one pike minnow (that we killed). At the launch we talked to another boat, they caught 1 pike all day. We left at 2.
