We fished roosevelt on sunday and had another good day.We fished Swawilla cove all day there was a lot more boat traffic then thair was last wednesday and I think it slowed the bite some.We did manage to pick up 19 fish.We caught 8 Rainbows and 11 Kokanee We realesed all but the two biggest Kokanee 4.25 lbs and 3 lbs we also lost two nice ones.All in all had a great time fishing.The hot set up this trip was a watermellon dodger with a watermellon apex

Hey Rick, you make it look easy. Thank you for the tip on how far back from the down rigger release you fish. Were you using the Rocky Mountain dodger again? I went to their web site and liked what they offer. Now, 2 more questions please. The dodger size. Is it 4.25 or 5 1/2" ? And how much leader between dodger & squid or Apex? Thanks Andy

We use the 4.25. The smaller the dodger the better...12 to 18 inches back. Some times no dodger/flasher works better. You keep posting these fish pics and we won't be able to get into Swawilla :) Can't wait we will be on the lake Thur-Sun. Thanks for another post.

Thank you very much for all the information. I'll remember you guys when I get a chance to fish it again. I'm sure I've been running too long of leader thus only rainbows being caught. Thanks again, Andy
