Here is a beautiful day in Eastern Washington. Blue Sky 70 degrees and fish are feeding. Justin and I were on the water by 7:30 AM and fish were every where. Unfortunately they were feeding on the bugs and not our lures. I had one fish on and lost it on my fly rod , chironomid fishing, another one hit dropper fly and broke a knot. Fishing with a small gold spoon , I hooked a nice brown trout and had it all the way to my boat before loosing him. 12:30 in the afternoon my luck changed and I landed this nice rainbow ,got a photo, thanked him for letting me catch him and released  him. Third picture  shows him swimming away ,maybe to be caught another day.
