Lake Roosevelt-Swawilla Basin

(*Sorry for the dely of the report...more info found on the Cast and Blast post)

Weather/Conditions:

Higher prx now setting into area…large change from yesterday.
Mid 60-75 F
Mostly sunny with occasional high filtered clouds.
Moon 38% waning
Surface water temp 43 warming to 47 F
Wind Calm

No hits or catch report here. There was quite a few boats in the basin...but I did not see one net go down...except maybe for an overboard beverage! Trolled throughout the basin varying fishing depths, starting on the surface to 50 feet down. Marked fish suspended out over 120 ft and also around drop offs and shoulders. I was marking a few fish throughout the day and adjusting accordingly…but no take downs. Most of the fish seemed about 20-40 feet down, but I fished all the way to 50 feet. I was able to add numerous icons to the Lowrance as I passed familiar reliable hot spots. I was primarily after silvers...by the end of the day I would have settled for a bluegill!

Used:

Apex w/ 3/0 dodger
K-Fly w/ silver hackle
Various plugs

Thanks,
Mav

I forgot...this month's edition of Salmon, Trout and Steelhead mag has an excellent Silver/Koke article by Bill in it. It's great information to give any newbie the fast track and good information for the other anglers to add to his/her notes.

ps.
the lil' monkey in the picture was very excited to see 'arches' on the screen...he thought they were actually bananas!!
