We finally got out on Roosevelt this year; we hadn’t been out since late October last fall. We launched at Fort Spokane, and went up the arm a couple miles and found a creek running into the main chanel. We trolled for about 3 hours with leaded line, and a fly tipped with a worm. We marked fish between 30 and 60 feet, so that is where we targeted. We had a pretty good afternoon, catching 5 fish, 3 Walleye’s ranging from 16-20 inches. We also caught a small rainbow that we had to keep since he was bleeding and knew he wouldn’t make it, and a 15 inch Kokanee. That is the first time I have caught one of those at Roosevelt, so it was fun. All in all a great day on the lake, the weather was nice, and we got a nice meal out of it.

I'm hoping you didn't head up the Spokane Arm since it didn't reopen until today (June 1st). Otherwise it sounds like a good trip!

its not closed like it has a gate its just not open to keeping and retaining walleye during this time due to spawn. you can catch and release them all day long. you can fish for other species and keep your legal limit.
