My parents have moved from Asheville NC to Spokane and into a retirement community. My dad fished walleye back in Wisconsin and a kid (to feed the family during the depression) and as an adult for sport. I would like to take him catchin this weekend. Any ideas on weather to go to Lake Roosevelt, Banks or Potholes? I would like to put the 82 year old guy on some fish. Thanks for your thoughts. AW

Up lake from Spokane River really seems to be hot right now. Banks is doing well also, but not for numbers. Plus, Lake Roosevelt has a smaller minimum size, and larger bag, and if your dad is like my dad (from Northern Wisconsin) he just wants a good fish fry! Roosey's walleyes are excellent fare. Potholes has been really tough this year, on many anglers. Good luck and post a report if you go.
