My son and I hit Roosevelt today to see if the bigger rainbows would hit. We started at "A" rock across from Lincoln and ended at Sterling Point. The first troll along the rocks across from Lincoln to "A" rock yielded nothing. As soon as we started hitting the sand flats we were in to fish. They were holding tight to those sandy points in 20 to 30 feet of water. Our first fish was a chunky 15 incher. Nice, but we were after bigger. We kept fishing this pattern as we were catching fish. We ended up fishing for three hours with a few swimming/throwing rocks breaks to keep my son's legs stretched, and energy headed in the right direction. Tally for the day was eight trout. Two trout were 17" and biggest of the day was 18" and dwarfed the 17 inchers. This fish was thick! No wild trout today. Absolute blast to be out on Roosevelt with my oldest. By far his biggest fish so far.

We were fishing orange and olive Kekeda flies tipped with chunk of worm. The orange outfished the olive and had the biggest but both caught fish today. Lines were on the downrigger from 10 to 20 feet. Most productive seemed to be 12 feet. Trolling speed was 2.1 to 2.4
