Cookie and I ran out Saturday for a quick check on the rainbow situation for bank tanglers at the Gorge. We checked 5 differnt bays, in between the pipeline and Buckboard, with my castable sonar. They just were not stacked up yet. Singles and doubles showed on the sonar but not the big spring pre-spawn gatherings we were looking for. We watched boats in the mouth of these bays picking up fish, so they may be starting to show up ( or they may have been catching kokes).
Anyway, we caught a few. Jakes, Jointed Rainbow Rapala and white tube jig, but not fast action and no size.
Weather was fantastic and the wind stayed low till after 3.
Water temp was 42-45 (surface)
Another week or two and it should be game on for fast rainbow action from the shore as the big Boys and Girls wander in for thier spring frolic. Boaters should find plenty of action while they laugh at us landlubbers.

Remember: keep the lid on the worms, share your jerky, and stop by to say hi to Cookie and the Cowboy-Pirate crew
