Our family reunion is held each year on Lake Roosevelt, south of Hunters. We have had good luck fishing for smallmouth off the shore. Best lures have been crankbaits, or jigs with tubebaits. Look for rocks, brushpiles, or snags and fish in front of them. Two weeks ago, the smallies and walleye were on the bite for the boat fishermen. Best fish in our camp was a 7 1/2 pound walleye. The lake was down then, and there was a lot of beach. Post a report when you get back. Good luck.
