Greg: Roosevelt - 10/31/2023

I made a quick trip to Roosevelt before getting home for the Trick or Treaters. My truck’s thermometer read 23 degrees as I hit the dip in Highway 2 at Deep Creek at 9 AM. By the time I got to Fort Spokane, the truck said it was 33 degrees with fog coming off the lake. It took nearly 2 hours for me to get my first bite and another hour to get my second. Bites were few and far between, but every bite I got resulted in a fish in the net. I ended up catching 6 walleyes in 5 hours of fishing, and they were good ones. I released a 22 incher and kept a 19, two 18s, two 17s and a 15. The water temperature was 59 degrees. There was a chilly north wind in the morning, but sunshine, light winds, and a high near 50 made for a pleasant afternoon.
