CF and I headed to Keller Ferry this AM with an inch of overnight snow on the roads and intermittent spitting the entire way. I resisted my innate urge to go fast and it took an extra 20-30 minutes for our drive up. We safely made it to the launch parking lot and while turning above the launch to position my boat my truck started sliding sideways. We both froze as the truck closed in on the concrete supported launch fee box. We both sighed in relief when we stopped 3 feet short of vehicle destroyer. After ready in the boat we cautiously backed down the ramp with only 1 minor slide. 4 lines stacked on the DRs by 8:15.

We offered pink and orange flies and hoochies between 12-22 FOW, 1.7 MPH, water temp 45. Hoochies especially orange was the preferred choice. We caught fish 3 of the 5 hours ending up with 7 Kokes in the 16-18 inch range and 20 RBT 12-16 inches. The RBT were all without much fight today and obviously we did not entice any carry over fish. The Kokes were all aerial and full of fight. It was strange how we caught fish in spurts then nothing even when we went right back to an area after catching. We kept 4 Kokes and a couple of trout before calling it a day. We were thrilled to see the launch plowed and completely free of snow as we came in. The plow was still working on the lot as we left. We saw only a single other boat the entire day that had launched elsewhere. The roads were completely snow free for the ride home which was greatly appreciated. It was another great day on the water to end a great year of fishing with CF.
