Title: Roche Lake June 29th - July 3rd, 2007
Post by: armytruck on July 03, 2007, 04:54:47 PM

Spent the last 5 days up at Roche Lake west side rec site . Lots of fish around jumping every where . Packed up the boat and headed out for the day fly fishing . Started off with a few hits and misses , watched a couple other anglers pull in a few big Pannask Trout . Bang ! another fish on , took a run deep , then shot straight up like a nuke shooting out from an underwater submarine . I managed to settle the bugger down a little as the silver torpedo  neared my boat , shot off a couple a flares to avoid a direct hit ;D couldn't do it  :P in a big splash she exploded with all her might and then !..........silence......... ? What just happened I asked myself as I wipe the water from my face  ;) Anyway , enough of that bs . The fishing at Roche Lake was fantastic up until the rain pelted down so hard that it killed off the sage hatch .The next few days were to say the least ,spotty. The older fella in the next camp site to me was using the old faithful Ford Fender with a pink wedding band / worm . He had a 4.5 , 6 , a couple of around 3 pounders on ice . Couldn't of asked for a better time out for the holidays and look forward to going back in the fall. Cheers Fishers

Good times.  I like that lake, and I've only been once with Pat AV.  Looking forward to the next visit.

Thanks for your responce GoldHammeredCroc , :)I would have liked more responces and other tips about Roche Lake especially when things like that down pour of rain turns off the fishing . What do you do in that case ??? How can you intice them into the bite and so on under those conditions.

go deep with a chronie. and especially this time of the year, work a sedge pupa or mayfly nymphs along the many drop offs

Crawling a ghomphus in using a high D line off the dropoffs works like a hot damn, as well, on certain days. Drift a chronie at the same time on another rod, set your indicator at at 16 -18'.
