After intending to go to Roesiger last weekend, I finally made it out there today for the first time. I've been wanting to check this one out.

I started about 8am, decided to try the bottom lake first. I ran my standard gear, Mack's 4in dodgers, 18 inches of leader to a green Doc Spratley and an olive Woolley Bugger. 1 1/2 ounces of lead on 1 line, the other off the downrigger.

Within the first few minutes, fish on. Maybe a 10 inch rainbow. Released unharmed. From that point on it was one right after another of fish as small as 6 inches, to maybe 11 inches on the largest. Released all fish unharmed.

Decided to head to the upper part of the lake. Got up there, and did not mark many fish at all. Got into 2 smaller rainbows, released both, and that was it. Decided to head back to the lower lake. I will say there was lots of surface activity on the upper lake. To me looked like Kokanee by the way they were surfacing, but I can't be sure.

Got back to the lower lake and was immediately back into fish. Ended my day with maybe 20, all released. I don't think anything I caught was over 12 inches. I've been spoiled by Goodwin I guess. I wish I would have brought my Kokanee gear with me. I would have liked to have seen if those were indeed Kokes I saw surfacing.

I did switch both lines to a green Doc Spratley, I got very little action with the Woolley Bugger. They definitely liked the Doc Spratley more.
