Lincoln Launch while having water is not usable due to the log boom floating at the end of the ramp. Can't launch anything much bigger than 12' off tlr. Maybe 2-3' of water over the end of the ramp so a car topper or kayak could get in I think. Launched at 7 Bays. Trolled some of Hawk cr w/o a hit. Tried over by A rock w/o a hit. Went to Hay Stack to put some waypoints on the boat gps from a hand held and discovered some eye marks in 20-30 fow. Got excited and went to rig some spin poles only to discover the jigging tackle was left on the floor of the boat shed. :-(

Maybe next time. It was a beautiful cool day with mostly flat water. The boat ran great so I'll be back soon.

Thanks Brad,
At Ft. Spokane the dock isn't in the water. Ice on the water this morning. Slow day, not many fish.

try some trolling when it's cloudy or a day when there's some ripple/chop on Roosevelt. When it flattens in high sun it's a tough gig to get much action unless you are really early or late in the day.

Brad thank you for the update on the Lincoln launch. Also, try some trolling when it's cloudy or a day when there's some ripple/chop on Roosevelt. When it flattens in high sun it's a tough gig to get much action unless you are really early or late in the day.

Thank you for the tip. This is the first winter I didn't use the boat for months. Usually between waterfowling and fishing it never sits more than 3-4 weeks so this was just really a shake down for the boat. That's my story and I'll stick to that. ;-)

In all seriousness I mostly used to walleye fish when the water was this low and would start trolling for trout in local lakes when the ice cleared. When the local put and take lakes get warm and crowded I'd move to Roosevelt. Rosy trout were more of a summer and fall activity for me.
