I don't think there is.  I know there was no off limits in the past.

No off limits. Most people go over and pre-fish on Friday for this one.

Looks like a big cold front is going to be moving in with some possible snow.  It is going to be f****ng cold!!!!  I still wish I was able to fish it though.  Have fun guys, and have a safe trip over the pass.

One year I fished this event and it was 14 degrees when we launched in the morning, livewells were frozen shut in the morning and my partner broke a brand new leatherman tool trying to pry them open, by the time he got it open I had 4 fish sitting in the bottom of the boat.  I had only made 4 casts.  The fishing can be amazing in that cold water! Good luck to all and make sure to take alot of warm clothing, masks, hoods, gloves, mittens, parkas, snowmobile suits, are a must for going 70MPH in anything less than 40, don't leave any skin exposed!

Hey guys Im heading over to roosevelt with my dad and wanna stop by banks to check it out at low water...can I still launch?

Yes, from what I hear, they are not dropping it anymore.  Coulee Playland is the only launch.  You may need a 4x4 though.
