Freezeout 2012

This year’s Freezeout is just a couple of weeks away. We will be hitting Lake Roosevelt again this year out of Kettle Falls. Call Debbie and make your reservations at the Kettle Falls In, (509-738-6514).

We will be doing our shore lunch on Saturday the 25th. It’s a potluck so feel free to bring something to add. I sure hope Disco Dan does his fish tacos, they are the best!

Last year we got hit by an Alaska style cold front that whipped us pretty good. But we had about 20 or so diehards braved the 15 degree weather, and we caught some fish too! I think that this year we should see more normal temps, but you never know what Mother Nature will have in store for us.
Keep your jig hooks sharp, and set the hook!
