Freezing fog, temperatures to 1 below & a little wind on the Waterville flats had us looking at each other wondering if we were crazy. But, Roosevelt in the winter can be a lot of fun! Jerry brought his grandson Colby along. We did our best when Colby was running the boat. We caught the most of our fish between Spring Canyon & Eden Harbor. Air temp at the launch was 18 Degrees, constant slight breeze to windy enough to hamper boat control. We had been hiding from the wind and only picked up a few in Spring Canyon. We long lined with Rapalas & ran flies & wedding rings behind 4/0 dodgers on the downriggers at 10'. The flies were what they wanted. The pink and gold accounted for the most. I'm sure we could have limited if we had not spent time hiding from the wind. Watching Colby Reel'em in and Run the boat for Grandpa was a hoot! Total of 7 bows from 14' to 20'' and 2 Kokes 16 and 19''.

We were down at Roosevelt Monday too and fished FT Spokane to Seven Bays; got 6 beautiful bowes. We also asked....are we nuts, freezing fog all the way from Spokane. Taking the grand kids is always fun. Did you get the Kokes on the pink?

Hey downriggeral, the Kokes came one to each color. I had a feeling when putting in at Spring Canyon it would be good. We put in at the same time a group from Spokane did. They had about an inch of frost built up on their boat windshield from the fog. They had fished it 2 days earlier. So I figured if they came all the way to the lower end there must have been a good reason.

Thanks afk, we had a pile of frost on our boat too. Had to run the heater on high for 15 minutes in the parking lot to thaw out the windshield and top. We may have to make the run to Spring Canyon next time. Can't go this Saturday but maybe the next one.
