Well dang Oldguy. Are you in Walla Walla, Tahoe or Texas?
With all the snow in Tahoe right now I hope you're in Texas.

I used to fish the Tucannon, Touchet, and Walla Walla (Above Walla Wala) Rivers years ago. I remember doing pretty well on the Tucannon for Trout. That was a very long time ago though. I have no idea what it is like now.

For information, 03/25/2023:
I was up on Spring Lake last week. Lots of folks fishing all the lakes and if the trout are biting they are easy to catch, but sometimes it takes a little knowledge and technique to coax them bite. I only take two fish as that is all I will eat but the fish were pretty nice - one 11, the other 10 and meaty. It's plunking but still fishing - two cast and two fish. Fire up the barbe. Here is a hint, if you see deer and turkey out feeding, the fish will be biting aggressively, otherwise knowledge and technique are needed.
I talked to a fellow last fall in Waitsburg. He said he catches nice rainbow out of the Touchet River right "in town" and I see cars parked near the state park (at the bridge) and people walking with poles. Also, several years ago I had access to the Tucannon River through private property near the Last Resort and did well, but you are only allowed two fish from the river and cannot use bait (my fishing buddy hooked and released a nice Dolly in the same place). I have also seen people fishing above the hatchery but I never have so don't know anything about that. Access to the mid run of the river below Cummings Creek to near HW 12 is tough unless you know someone. Of course, there is always the pamphlet for other places, but I haven't seen a new one for 2023-24...the old one is good till the end of the month.
