Greg and Travis: Roosevelt - 7/11/2025

A friend from church (Travis D) joined me for a day at the lake. Travis grew up fishing for walleyes in South Dakota on Lake Francis Case which is the same pool on the Missouri River where I learned to walleye fish when I was a kid. Travis claimed that he hadn’t caught a walleye in 30 years. It didn’t take him long to make up for lost time. I showed him how to rig the bottom bouncer set up, and before I had mine in the water, he had his first walleye in the boat. We ended up with 17 walleyes in the live well for him to take home to his family. The lake was as high as it was all summer on the day Travis and I were on the lake 1289 feet with a good deal of floating debris and chalky water. The weed edge was 25 feet.
