Lake Roosevelt

[270Flat]

What are water levels like?

[Ridgeratt]

Current water level is 1285.

[dscubame]

Beaches are starting to show.  Dropped 3-4 feet last week.  Will continue a slow drop through summer. Still high water relative to the reservoir.

Did you check out the fire across from Seven Bays when you were there two weeks ago?  It was raging good.  Early 20's guy started it with fireworks then apparently tried to get out of dodge and was caught at the hawk creek boat launch.  Beaches are out your kids will be on the sand.

Will be there for a few days for some boat in camping. I like to hear what Rasbo is saying 

If anybody has any tips on smallies let me know

[rasbo]

Where ya camping

[meathunter]

Probably Cayuse bay

[dscubame]

If you are talking Cayuse Cove up the Spokane arm know your hazards, I spend time there and watch more than a few boats each year take out lower units and props by not knowing the water.  There are three buoy marked hazards just before the "narrows" down from Cayuse, then Cayuse,  and then one more up towards the damn. 
The water level is still high enough to be your friend however. 
With Porcupine Bay road closed and campground inaccessible by vehicle due to landslide I have been thinking that bay would be nice now that there are many less folks there with the closure.

Well typically we launch at Keller and hang a right. I know that bay can be very shallow. Sounds like it will be a scorcher  Was thinking of heading north instead of staying around the dam end, was thinking past the mouth of the Sanpoil. Good small mouth fishing around the bay, but was looking to venture out and try some new areas.

Keller is nice,shade,clean and decent bass and walleye

[dscubame]

Keller is my favorite on the lake, good choice.   I actually have a boat slip at the Keller Marina.  We hang a right too and can be found just past Hanson Harbor just past the floating outhouse.  Between the floating outhouse and Jones Bay.  If you see a 26 foot regal and guys/gals playing frisbee between two poles with cans of beer on top feel free to swing on in.  Will be there this Sunday for sure.

Thanks DSCUBAME, Will definitely keep an eye out for you. Staying till Monday, so I will make sure I make my way that direction.

Well looks like we’re gonna head that way this weekend. Sounds like jigging for walleye and bass is a good bet...? How about trolling a worm harness? What depth should a guy start out? Never been that way in the summer only in the late winter for trout fishing from the bank. Look like we’re launching out of spring Canyon. Any info is appreciated! Thanks
