After an awesome Thanksgiving dinner, the girlfriend and I decided that we'd spend the day after Thanksgiving fishing on Lake Roosevelt.
Got out to our pull-off spot between Daisy and Gifford at about 9am. By 12:30 we had caught 9 Rainbows. We could see a wall of rain headed our way so we decided that the one fish to fill our limits wasn't worth getting soaking wet over. The average size was about 16" but the 2 bigger ones were around 18". A worm with a small orange corky bobber seemed to deliver the best and bigger results. Garlic powerbait was also getting some hits but I missed 3 bites with the powerbait. The trout seemed to bite harder on the worm.
Couldn't have asked for a better day! Love this time of year for fishing Roosevelt.
