Title: Lake Roosevelt Walleye
Post by: YJ Guide Service on March 05, 2012, 10:40:30 AM: Tried to post this before but would never work hope it does this time. Fished Lake Roosevelt 2 weekends ago. Fishing has been slow compared to last year at this time. We fished Norasada blades and jigs with Jerry Lures jig bodies in multiple colors. Water was in the mid 30's and weather was overcast. I ended up catching this nice 12.4lb Walleye, shows what you can still catch in this awesome fishery...Good fishing everyone

Post by: YJ Guide Service on March 05, 2012, 06:07:46 PM: LOL definitely a native lol...Norisada baits are carried by Warehouse sports in Spokane or can be ordered off Johns website at www.norisadtackle.com tell him Craig Dowdy at YJ Guide Service sent you...Norisada Blades are really one of the best blades out there and are a quality bait at a good price.. Made right here in Spokane WA. That fish went back in so it could produce more quality fish for everyone else to catch someday..Release those big fish and keep the small ones...

Post by: Black Plague on March 07, 2012, 04:41:57 PM: are they in the Spokane arm yet? I was thinking about trying to target some eyes out of porcupine bay...but have not heard any good reports yet...? hopefully the warming trend will help matters...
Title: Re: Lake Roosevelt Walleye
Post by: YJ Guide Service on March 07, 2012, 07:34:15 PM: Water levels need to drop for the fish to really start moving up the arm. Seems like what fish are being caught are small males in the Porcupine area. Good luck if you go down there water levels are at 1275 today
