Those days are ruff. Hard to stay excited even at a great lake like the Gorge when the fish just won't cooperate. It always amazes me how fickle fish can be.
For me Echo really shined for Browns and SM Bass this year. We had several days it gave up some really nice fish around the dam. Only caught a couple perch, though they were good sized. Nothing like last years numbers.
Pineview has been the only lake this year that we did really well for perch. Good numbers and size once you find them. We had several days we kept 20+ over 10" and let lots of smaller ones go. Lots of yummy tacos.
I'll try to post how we do at the Gorge. Hopefully I can share some useful info. If not it's going to be a long couple of days [
