Title: Banks Lake???
Post by: finnman on May 12, 2022, 03:41:05 PM: The wife and I are headed to Banks Lake tomorrow morning. Has anyone been this week? Had any good days for bass, Walleye, or trout?
Just curious if the cool weather has kept the bite down or not. We will try Roosevelt as well.
Thanks and see you at the lake! We are going to up by Osborn Bay, with a white 4Runner with black cargo trailer.
