Greg: Roosevelt - 5/26/23

Pastor and his wife jointed me for a beautiful Friday on the Spokane Arm. The water level had risen to 1275 feet which was at least 15 feet higher than my last trip to Roosevelt 2 weeks prior. Post-spawn walleyes are moving around a lot this time of year. Hitting a lot of spots and covering water is the name of the game until walleyes settle into early summer spots. We ended up keeping 15 walleyes and throwing lots of little ones back. There are MANY 11 to 13 inch walleyes in the system this year. So far this spring, consistently finding walleyes over 16 inches has been tough compared to the last few years. The water temperature was in the 60s and varied with time of day and how far up the Arm you went. Water clarity is good, but there is a lot of debris floating in the lake. Keep a close eye out for sticks, logs, and dead heads in the lake.
