Any hints or info on catching these fabulous fish? Timing, season, gear, location (I generally fish the Kettle falls area, for wallys anyhow). Thanx..

IM FROM SPOKANE AND WITH MY EXPERIENCES' ON ROOSEVELT IT CAN PRODUCE SOME DANDY TROUT IN SOME QUANTITY FROM ABOUT MARCH UNTIL MAY OR JUNE. I FOCUS MY FISHING IN THE HAWK CREEK / SEVEN BAYS AREA USING A SHALLOW DIVING CRANK BAIT(RIPPIN MINNOW,RAPALA) WITH FLOUROCARBON LINE ON THE SURFACE TROLLED AT A HIGH SPEED UP TO 5MPH, AND WITH AT LEAST 100FT OF LINE OUT.THIS TACTIC WORKS IN THE COLDER MONTHES WHEN FISH ARE NEAR THE SURFACE. WHEN IT WARMS UP PUT THAT RIG AS DEEP AS YOU CAN OR TRY A TROLLING FLY TIPPED WITH A WORM. IM SURE YOU COULD FIND RESULTS IN THE KETTLE FALLS AREA TOO WITH THESE RIGUPS.

Thanx guy........ I will definetly give it a try. The locals are very tight lipped about this one.

We fish the Hawk Creek and 7-Bays area from late Dec to the end of Feb.We fish off the bank with a Nightcrawler and Marshmellow and get some dandies.I also tye up some jigheads.Chartruce bodies with a Orange tail.Fish this with a piece of a crawler about 12 feet under a slip float.

I am heading over to the gifford area to fish this coming weekend, any tips or anything that is working right now for bows, kokanee, or wallaye? And is there really big crawdads in there too?

I fished Kettle Falls last weekend. Never got a sniff for any Walleyes. Water temp was 68, sun was high air temp around mid 80's. sorry dude, I cant shed any light on things. Cheers
