Title: Lake Roosevelt Burbot.
Post by: Toad on January 05, 2020, 06:31:49 PM: I would like to give this fishery a try. I know it starts getting good in the winter. I've only fished for walleys here. Any info, tips etc would be greatly appreciated. Don't know much about the species other then the video put out by WDFW. Thanks!

Craig was real good about trying to help us learn how to get after the walleye out there so we could.go after them on our own but we ended up just booking again with him this year lol id head out for a trip with him he will get you lined up.

I want to fish there next weekend with the warm weather and see what we can find. I heard from a buddy there was a guy at Fort Spokane that recently slid on the ice at the ramp, jack knifed his trailer and dropped the boat on the launch.
