One of the things that I do this time of year is to travel to Keller on Lake Roosevelt. There is a Federal Park there, with very good access to the water below the marina and boat launch. Some of these accesses have picnic tables and garbage cans, and there are vault toilets nearby. The reason I drive such a distance is the trout fishing. It is no secret that Lake Roosevelt is loaded with triploid rainbow trout. Most years there are about 700,000 of them released into the lake from net pens located at different spots along the shore. This is easy fishing, too. I just cast a sliding sinker rig with a hook baited with either a shrimp and marshmallow combo or my favorite color of Power Bait. I fish two rods and after I have them set into a holder I sit back and wait for the rod tip to start bouncing. There have been days when I only get one fish, and there are other days when my friend and I get our limits of five fish each in about two hours. The trout range in size from about 15 inches to over 20 inches in length, and average around 16 inches. This is a great way to spend a fall or winter day when not much else is going on.
