I had a great day fishing for kokanee on Lake Roosevelt out of Spring Canyon earlier this week, and there are some other fisheries coming up on the big reservoir. If you aren’t aware, the Colville Tribe pays $10.00 for each northern pike head that is turned in at multiple locations along the reservoir. This is prime time to fish for northern pike. Click on the Catch.Kill.Report logo on the Home Page of my website to learn more about the suppression efforts and the rewards program. I fished for northern pike about this time in the past with Kevin Witte, of Up River Guide Service, and although we didn’t get a pike I caught the biggest walleye I have ever seen. We finished the day fishing for walleye, and you can watch the video we did by going to the Fishing TV page on my website and clicking on “Northern Pike and Walleye Tactics on Lake Roosevelt”. Sturgeon fishing on Lake Roosevelt opens on June 18th, and this has become a very popular and productive fishery. I also did a video on sturgeon fishing with Kevin Witte, and you can also watch this one on the Fishing TV page. Look for “Sturgeon Fishing on Lake Roosevelt”.
We didn’t hook a northern pike on Lake Roosevelt but I landed this whopper walleye.
