Spent the day on the water with Bob Schmidt of Macks Lure and Justin Wolff of Angler West TV catching Lake Roosevelt rainbow. We fished strictly Macks Lure baits and attractors today and caught fish on multiple presentations. We started off trolling number 8 Shad Raps behind a Masks Lure Hot Wings. The Hot Wings are a great attractor to put in front of crankbaits. The key is to use a short leader, 12-18 inches, between the crankbait and the Hot Wings. Speed for this presentation was 2.5-2.8 mph.

We then switched tactics and started to use the Downriggers. We were using the Macks Double D Dodger in front of a Cha Cha Squidder on one rod, and a Double D Dodger in front of the new Macks Lure Spindrift Trout Series bait tipped with a nightcrawler. Chartreuse was the hot color for both rigs. We slowed down to 2.0-2.5 mph for these rigs and ended up filling out our limits.

We primarily targeted the Keller area and fished in the top part of the water column all day long. We ran the Downriggers down from 20-25 feet while we flat lined trolled the crankbaits and Hot Wings which run approximately 10-12 feet deep.
