It was going to be a beautiful day Tuesday, so I headed up to Lake Roosevelt to try for some trout from the shore at Keller. When I arrived, I found the lake level way down and the large tire anchor that I hang up on earlier in the season high and dry. Setting up my rods next to the water, I cast out and waited for a bite. Two other anglers showed up and set up just up the beach from me. There wasn’t much going on bite wise, so we met up and talked about how the fishing had been here in Keller. They said they averaged at least a couple of good fish per day. Earlier in the week they caught five fish between them. It seems that if the fish are there they get them. They live nearby so it’s easy for them to fish Keller regularly. I checked the Keller launch while I was there and found five trucks and trailers in the parking area. The docks are way down the ramp now, but there is still enough water to launch even large boats. I checked out Seatons Grove, too, and found just two boats had launched there on Tuesday.
The water level on Lake Roosevelt is dropping fast now, but I have seen this launch at Keller still usable at a much lower level.
