Lake Roosevelt Burbot Fishing Trips

[elkslayer99]

I went fishing with Craig this last Sunday I would like to say that Craig is a great guide! as well as great fishing I got a great education on how to fish for Burbot and Walleye. He worked very hard to find fish, we got close to our limit caught some nice fish! After the Burbot stopped biting we were off to catch some Walleye which we did very well! If you want a great guide that will work hard for you Craig is your guide I would not hesitate to book again only I would do it earlier next time!

I need to get the wife up there one of these years.  Been a long time since I have caught a freshwater ling.  (OK, Lota lota instead of Molva molva.  Still is a ling if you ask me.)

The wife likes to fish if she can eat what we are catching.  And, she likes being out on the boat as long as we have access to a head.  So how far of a run is it for her to get to formal lavatory instead of peeing in a bucket where the men can hear?  That is about the only thing that has stopped us from getting her out fishing more often!

Curiosity, can you get a boat on Roosevelt with the water levels so low, and if so, where do you launch

We may try Spring Canyon tomorrow.

Radsav we were about 5 miles from the boat launch that would be the closest bathroom I would guess. There were some camp grounds along the way but I do not know if there were bathrooms. We put in at porcupine bay there was still some boat ramp left but the water level is dropping.

When the water level drops to far down everyone will be launching from 7 bays at some point if the water drops that far down. There actually are primitive outhouses on the way at some of the campgrounds if someone needs to stop we do. Walleye fishing is still going good and we are still catching some burbot...Good fishing everyone

Craig.
Any updates on the burbot fishing? Have you given up on the for the year?

[YJ Guide Service]

No we are still trying for them each trip just cause we are still picking a few up everyday. The Walleye have been biting excellent...

[Ridgeratt]

Aren't the lings spawning now?  Last year you were hammerin them. I have seen a few reports on walleyes they all look like hammer handles or most of them.

Yes they usually are by now but the eggs are really small still. Caught one over 7lbs today and 14 all together. The walleye are on the smaller side right now 13-17" till mid april - may when the big girls arrive lol..
