poppers, streamers, frog/crayfish/mouse/dragonfly imitations, the usual.

Re: Fly fishing on lake roosevelt
sink tip? floating or full sink line?
Re: Fly fishing on lake roosevelt
sink tip, floating line for close to shore for anything that sinks like the crayfish imitations. Full sinking if you want to fish streamers or sinking crayfish imitations over the deep flats and deep water/dropoffs. Full floating for all the floating bugs and mice and such.

Re: Fly fishing on lake roosevelt
Hit the fly shop in Ephrata. They run guides out of there and have pretty good knowledge about the entire area. Buy a few flys, maybe some tippet or a leader of two. They'll tell what you need to know.
