well, its actually closed for walleye in April and May due to the spawn....but I bet the small mouth fishing could be good...I would also bet that the end of march would be pretty sweet for picking up a pile of walleyes too...mmmmm good!... :twocents:

I'm looking at 2 different 90hps right now, and found one that a boat motor repair shop is rebuilding completely. They're asking $3000.00 installed, as I may go that way as it will be like new with a 90 day warranty. So it looks like I need to sell the 50hp evenrude. MABEY somebody will read this post and, I can unload it at a bargin. :dunno: And yes I'm planning to go to the arm on Saturday. I just bought 2 custom rods made of IM6 graphite, and the are lamiglass blanks from what he said. 6'6" medium action with a fast tip. I also went to walmart, and picked up a new cardnal reel for one of them, and some more 6, and 8 pound test as someone used most of mine up after I put it on his spool. :yike:Anyway I'll let you know how they do.

Would there be any walleye fishing open in the area in April, or should I think about another location ??

well To protect the  fish and to improve the quality of fishing in practically the whole state, there is a seasonal closure on the Spokane, SanPoil and Kettle River arms from April 1 through May 31. Fishing on the rest of Roosevelt Lake and the mainstem of the Columbia is open year-round. Be sure to check the regulations pamphlet to make sure this hasn’t changed. ....but I think you could launch at Fort spokane and go out on the other side of the Bridge and i am pretty sure you can fish there...???I think???....

I personally would go north towards Kettle Falls for a good bite in April - May.   :twocents:
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

I don't know yelp. There are a lot of guys including myself who have slayed the walleye on rossevelt at that time of the year. but you have to think about the spots that will hold spawing,and post spawning fish.

I always launched out of Lincoln and very seldom didn't get the boat limit. Hooked into some big ones but never landed any. My biggest to the boat was around 18inches.
This closet is taken- go find your own
