Mission- rainbow caught

Bretz RV Below Post

Crow Reservoir   no small mouth but Night crawlers will catch rainbow and brown

Lake Mary Ronan   Boats are out there for two days so good chance for Salmon; NW side of the Lake Theres a dead Snag means good Kokanee fishing. 

Runoff has started but hampered by the cold.  Bringing up the Flathead slows the fishing down.

Polson Bay docks after they have spawned out.  Again Small mouth hindered by cold water.

Smaller fish Lake Trout now being caught mostly in the North end of Flathead.
