Jim Flinchbaugh and I left Tuesday mid-morning for the 150 mile drive to just North of Thompson Falls, Montana to the same campground and fishing spot we went to last year. He towed his camper and I towed his boat. We were hoping to still find some Walleye on the spawn, there had been a good bite back in late May but we were tied up with the race car....
We were lucky and able to secure our same campsite #14 as we had last year, right across from the boat ramp with a decent shoreline to tie the boat up for the night.
Camp is SET!
Boat ready to launch!
Plenty of Firewood!

Always a wonderful sunset! I love Montana!
The fishing was very slow - we did as well as anyone else,it was pretty frustrating - we put a couple nice sized Northerns in the ice box and released a few small fish...we fished hard and camped hard. Every meal was the most enjoyable...outside in the beautiful scenery just adds to the wonderful tastes!
Next trip later this month is the North Fork - looking forward to it....
Stay Tuned!
