Fog and slick roads made for a 2 plus hour drive for us to the Keller Ferry launch. 2 near deer collisions added to the tension which was relieved by getting lines in the water by8:00 AM. I was going to give the trip only a 3 rating due to the lock jaw conditions but realized we grinded out a good number of fish by the end of the day. 2 weeks ago Al, CF and I had a fantastic trip but yesterday the fish were scattered and hard to hook. We ran Kekeda flies orange, pink and perch on the down riggers between10-30 feet and long lined perch and craw dad Shad Raps. The fish virtually ignored the plugs all day and they were light biters on the flies. We estimated only 1 out of 3 hits on the flies stayed on. We did seem to get more fish deeper than 20 FOW. Water temp was 53. The only discernible pattern was getting a double followed by 30 minutes of nothing. We did have a nice double net job on a Koke and a RBT. Only 2 Kokes found the boat and most of the RBT were 16-18 inches. The bite picked up considerably mid day delaying our prior agreed on departure time. As usual, another great day with friends on the water.

Great job finding the fish. It can be pretty frustrating when they're scattered like that. It takes some work to get a good number in the boat when they're like that. What a beautiful trout, great picture. Glad the flies are producing for you and like always, thanks for the pics. Great report, thanks for sharing! -Dave
