Hit the water about 9:30. Water temp was 38 Deg., air temp. upper 40'S & pretty steady breeze. Trolled around Spring Canyon and didn't pick anything up right away. So when we marked fish we beached it and soaked some power bait & mellows. We picked up a couple but, man did they bite light. Around noon the sun was breaking out so we went back to trolling & headed up lake. Again, nothing on rapalas, wedding rings behind dodgers or needle fish tipped with worms. We beached it again and finished out the day one short of a limit for the two of us. Many missed fish due to such timid bites. Great scrappers and nice orange fless 13-16". Good day out.

You were using a technique I have been told works at Roosevelt this time of year, beaching and bait fishing off the bottom. Glad to hear you got a nice mess of trout to take home. Nice report and thanks for the pictures, they make a report better! :-)

Thanks hewesfisher. My problem is my computer skills (or lack there of) are just like my fishing. Hit & miss. Maybe next time I'll get skunked but get the picture upright! LOL

SsendaM....need to purchase a two pole endorsement to fish two pole's. But only certain lakes can be fished with two pole's in Wa State, so check the reg's. Not certain if the out of state two pole endorsement cost more but check it out if interested.

As you can see , my buddy Jerry & I both have the endorsement. I don't know about out of state. As I was taking this picture Jerry was running to the far pole. As you can barely see the bobber on that pole is up. That is how light they were biting.
