Anyone know anything about whitefish on the LR? I've never fished from a boat for them, only bank fishing the rivers during winter months.

I've never fished from a boat for them, only bank fishing the rivers during winter months.I went out with a walleye tournament fisherman a few years ago--in Lake Roosevelt-- and found big schools of fish suspended in about 60 ft. of water. He put an underwater camera down to check to see if they were walleye. They were whitefish....big Lake Superior whitefish not the Rocky Mountain like you catch in the rivers. Never tried for them but I bet they would hit a Swedish pimple with a fish eye on the hook. We would catch them in Soda Lake over by O'Sullivan through the ice on 'pimples. They get up to 6 pounds.

Powerbait , powerbait , powerbait , speckle orange from shore , we have been doing very well from shore , by the lincoln fish pens , and the ducks seem to be getting all the pens food the stupid things no when the pens feeder goes off , they come in when they here it , then can't fly out , to full to fly , entertaining to say the least, again with the POWERBAIT !
Been having some pretty good success lately the last couple times out. The bite has been really active. Think the colder temps have helped kick things in gear. Just been bottom fishing from shore. On average they're 15-20" with the bigger ones strong healthy fish. I have caught a couple redbands as well that went back.
Is Lake Roosevelt shut down? Trump sent out requests that park managers use carry forward funding to keep parks and whatnot open, but it seems to be at the discretion of local managers.
Good morning the other day
Dang Rasbo, how big was that fish?

Well done rasbo! A friend and I spent over 6 hours with about 25 other anglers at Ft. Spokane...ZERO FISH & ZERO BITES. WEIRD...A lot of anglers for mid-week and everyone reported similar results. The beautiful Blue Moon may have been a factor.
we did ok today caught burbot and walleyes to out by casino flats where the water is cleaner
Burbot fishing this season has been slowed by the dirty water, but we have located the walleye and have been getting limits of those for our customers
Got my boat ready I'll be putting In at keller,I like that area for kokes
