Got to the Lincoln launch way too early and had to take a little nap in the truck to wait for enough sunlight to get the boat in the water. Launched a little after 7 and motored across to the rocks. Had one rod rigged with a perch Kekeda and the other with an orange Kekeda. First line with a perch was set at 7:15 and had a fish on before I finished letting the second one out. Not big but chunky at 15". Second fish came on the orange and the biggest for the day at 17". Fast and furious for the next 45 minutes with a double and fighting the wind. Made one pass along the rocks and had 8 rainbows and 1 little 8" smallmouth. I wanted to see if I could find some Kokanee in Hawk Creek. Apparently I wasn't the only one as there were six other boats working the area. I replaced the perch with a pink and sent it down to 25'. Played around with depth for close to an hour while the orange stayed within the top 5'. There have been many times we've caught Kokanee right on top in Hawk Creek, just not recently. Caught a few more rainbows and called it a day at about 11. I kept 5 rainbows, biggest at 17" and smallest at 15".
Orange and perch took about the same number of fish again today with a couple rainbows on the pink. Downriggers were set at 7' and 12'. Speed was 2 to 2.4 and water temp was surprisingly at 56 degrees. Had a power worm on for the first fish then took it off. Fun day out there taking a break from the tying bench. Now it's back to orders.
Thank you to everyone who has been ordering and trying Kekeda flies. Word of mouth is my only marketing and I have all of you to thank for spreading the word. I truly appreciate all of your business and support.
