Subject: Lake Roosevelt, Arizona Submitted by Hey You
Date Fished: 4/14/2006 Water Temperature: 64 I had the opportunity to go back to my home state of Arizona and fish Lake Roosevelt. I fished here all the time from 1978 to 1999 when I left for Texas. We had a great day on Friday. The wind held off until 5 pm and we had a cloudy, calm day. We had 4 of us fishing (myself, my brother and two sons, pictured above). We put over 50 fish in the boat primarily using Texas rigged 5" straight tail worms in a shad color. We also caught severalon spinnerbaits and a few on lizards. Most all were in the brush at the entrance to the coves or about 1/2 way back. Very few were in the far back. The water was clear and 64 degrees. We saw several spawners but they were males getting ready to make nests and were not very interested in lures. Saturday was a much tougher day with only 15 fish in the boat. We stayed in the main lake part of the coves. Both days we primarily stayed in the mid-lake area. Once we went way up the Salt Arm past Schoolhouse Point but did not do as well as mid-lake. My brother caught a nice 3 lb smallmouth on a lizard right across from the blue bridge, near Bass Point. I really like the looks of Roosevelt and like the idea that it should be a great fishery for years to come. HY (Jeff Derrick)
