If you like fishing for rainbow trout, you may want to consider a trip to Keller Ferry on Lake Roosevelt. Every year there are as many as 700,000 triploid rainbow trout released into the big reservoir, so not only are trout abundant in the lake, but they are also of exceptional quality. Keller Ferry is one of my favorite places to fish for trout in the winter, either from the shore or from a boat. There is a great federal park just down lake from the marina, with several good accesses to the shore, and I have had some great days fishing here. The rainbow average at least 16 inches, and trout to well over 20 inches are common. I cast a hook baited with either Power Bait or a shrimp and marshmallow combo to get them. I also like to troll near the shore below the marina to catch trout. I have had good success with the orange Rapalas of various sizes and colors and Flicker Shad plugs as well. The water is down drastically in the winter, but the boat launch is usable even at the reservoir’s lowest levels. This is a great way to spend a winter day.
