Gave Billy Clapp a try this weekend. We set out for kokanee and after a few hours we switched to walleye, no bueno. Fish if there were any in there, just didn’t want to cooperate. I could see a few fish here and there at 50-60 feet, but no takers. I did see some fish at 90’ on the bottom of the lake. Does anybody know if there are Lake Trout in this lake? Wondering if the fish on the bottom are Lake Trout.

Deep fish are almost certainly whitefish. Hardly anyone fishes for them and it is a shame, as they abundant and tasty. Lake Superior Whitefish constitute the largest fish mass in Roosevelt and I have yet to meet someone who has caught one.

I agree with bowlguy. White are underfished and un-appreciated species. I fish for them in November and December above vernita bridge on the Columbia river. My buddies and I always catch our limits and once you learn how to de-bone them properly, taste great as fish tacos or smoked which I prefer.

Thanks for the Clapp report. Nice lake to fish when the fish are bitting. Some years the kokes can be pretty decent I had hopes for a good season on billy clapp this year as I was catching kokes on Banks earlier this year. Try Deep lake in the area. Lots of kokes but smallish.
