Launched at Roses lake around 2:00 PM, and headed up to the north end to try for some Bluegill. Was using 1/16oz jig heads with Berkley's micro minnow and nymph. Colors used were Perch, smoke/orange, Pearl/grey, and white/pink. To this we added a white Crappie nibble (one nugget) and cast toward the toulees and slow jigged them back to the boat. We picked up a few 7-8inch bluegills, several 6-8inch LMB, and Cindy caught one LMB about 1 pound. We then went to the south end working down along the west side jigging along. We had yellow perch follow the bait, but could not pick any up. We started catching fish about half way down the lake, and in 10-15 feet of water. Didn't pick up very many in the shallows on this end of the lake. Everything seemed to be holding deep, and the marks on the depthfinder were within 2-3 feet of the bottom. Working the bait slow was the ticket for us today. We ended up catching 4 rainbows, 1 brown, one tiger trout, multiple Bluegills, 2 crappie, and bunches of LIL bass. Cindy caught 2 trout on a castmaster on rainbow color, and all other fish were caught on the jigs. The crappie were 9 1/2 - 10inches, bluegill up to 9 inches, and the trout were standard 12-16 inch fish. There were a few other boats on the water, and we heard shouts of excitment on several occasions. We left the water around sundown with a good mess of fish, and a great evening on the water. Water temp was around 59-60* on the north end and 54-55* on the south end. Light wind and partly cloudy made it jacket weather, but otherwise a nice day to be out. Tight lines and hungry fish.

Wow Loui! You guys really did a job at Roses! Wish I could have been there with you. :-) Those look like some really NICE crappie! And the trout must have given you a lot of fun too. Miss you guys already. Hope to see you again next year! Look for a report from me later this weekend, heading out to a "secret hole" with my boss and a buddy. Take care my friend!

Hey Bob, It was a great way to start the Roses fishing season. It won't be long till the water temp rises enough to put them in the shallows. then it's fly rod and bug time. Best of luck on your fishing trip

Hey Robert, you ever fish any spinyray waters up your way with carrie, It's a blast to get into the gills and crappie when they get aggressive. Take care and best of luck with your gremlins
