Greg and Ken: Roosevelt - 7/29

The fishing at Roosevelt was better than expected. Ken (who is a golfer now) decided to take a break from whacking a little white ball, and joined me for a day of fishing. Ken is one of the best walleye trollers that I know, and it didn’t take him long to get his stroke back. A few of his hook sets were weak and poorly timed, but they were far more effective than any effort I would have swinging a golf club. We ended the day putting 30 walleyes in the boat. Several were released. Walleyes ranged from 12 inches to 21 inches. I believe 6 of them were 18 inches or longer. The weather was not conducive for good fishing, but the fish didn’t seem to care. The water was flat glass much of the day. The sun was bright, and the thermometer read 98 degrees when we left the lake at 3 PM.
