Farrgut State Park, Idaho

We left with the intention of traveling to Grand Coulee Dam, but Steve found a nice lake in northern Idaho to fish for Kokanee Salmon. We stopped in Post Falls, Idaho, and mailed some packages and did some shopping at Wal-Mart. We had to mail some clothes and books to make more room in the camper.

We arrived at Farragut State Park, set up and then went to Spirit Lake about 15 miles west. We put the kayaks in the water and set out to fish. The kayaking was the best yet. The water was still and you could leisurely paddle. To catch kokanee salmon you are supposed to troll. We just paddled and then just moved smoothly in a zigzag pattern to attract the salmon.

I got two 5-inch salmon which were too small and one black crappie. Steve had a bite or two; but no supper. It was a wonderful three hours on a beautiful lake.
