The lake is 62-percent full at elevation 2,117 feet. This could be the beginning of what snowmelt we will get. We read a report from SRP saying the lake will rise 9-11 feet by May with the current snow pack. Largemouth bass fishing is busting loose. High pressure and warm days have been getting those lethargic bass active. Drop shots and wired worms are the baits of choice. Fishing for smallmouth bass has been good lately, especially on windy days. Try areas where waves are stirring up the rocky shoreline. Use inline spinners and crayfish imitations, especially off rocky points and cliff walls, and live night crawlers. 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.
