3/16/2014 10:52:00 AMI fished Kitsap Lake with my two boys in a small boat. We caught 4 and lost 1 in three hours. We trolled with a roster tail and with various flies off of my fly rod and nothing. We anchored and caught all our fish. We used powerbait with worm. All fish were about 13 inches. Overall, not a bad start to the season.

I used a three or four foot leader with bullet sinker to allow the hook to set. I am thinking about pinching the barb on the hook, so I can release the fish. I usually keep the fish because the hook gets set down and ends up killing them. thanks for the update.
