The kokanee fishing at Lake Roosevelt continues to be very good. I did have to give it a 4 due to the fact that all the fish are wild kokanee and you can keep just 2 wild kokanee on Lake Roosevelt.

These fish are fat and healthy. We had 4 native kokanee in 25 minutes this morning.

Fished in the Swawilla Basin area with the Downriggers down at 50-55 feet in 180-220 feet of water. The fish came on a Mack's Lure Cha Cha Kokanee Squidders on a 14 inch leader behind a Double D Dodger. Speed was 1.6-1.8 mph.

Still have some days open in July if you want to get in on the kokanee and rainbow fishing at Lake Roosevelt.
