Roosevelt Lake Bass Fishing Reports 06/03/07

[ArizonaJeff]

The lake is 61-percent full at elevation 2,117 feet. The Salt River was flowing at 206 cfs last Monday morning and Tonto Creek was at 6 cfs.  Largemouth bass fishing fishing is fantastic.  Water temperatures are in the mid 70's. Many fish are being caught on crankbaits as well as dropshotting. We have also had reports of nice smallmouth being caught off points in 15-25 feet of water using nightcrawlers. Remember, the slot is in place for smallmouth as well.  Note: Anglers are reminded of the slot bass size limit that remains in effect at Roosevelt. Bass between 13 to 16 inches must be released immediately. Also those bass below 13 inches and above 16 inches that are kept can only be gutted with the head and tail attached so the legal length can be determined.
