What a change from last Saturday. Long time friend John from Columbia Falls Mt. came over and we got down to Keller around 8 AM. We got our lines in the water just outside the launch and slightly down stream. Had a Koke and a RBT in the boat within about 15 minutes of getting our lines out. Continued to troll downstream toward what I believe is referred to as the South Wall and picked up fish along the way. I think we had the 4th Kokanee by 10:20 and only a couple of RBT. Started releasing Kokes from the net and hoping for some more Rainbows. Taking a cue from Widebear's comments when the wind died and the sun came out we moved upstream above the ferry and found a little chop and some shade and found a much better bite than we had had down below for the last hour down there. Trolled upstream towards Hanson Harbor and continued to pickup fish here and there but most were still Kokanee. Had to release several large Kokanee when on Saturday all we could find were 2. Guess that is why they call it fishing. The orange Kekeda fly with a couple of beads and a gold smiley blade was once again the winner on my boat catching both Kokanee and Rainbows. Caught one Koke with my pink Kekeda and Kokanee dodger and hooked several fish with a orange Rapala. Lost 2 flies and a Rapala due to leader separation. Does anyone else have trouble with this fluorocarbon line? It seems to develop bad spots very easily . I use 8lb test and have had about a half dozen failures lately that I really don't think should have happened. I am on my 3rd brand now which is some pretty expensive Trilene but I think one of the setups I lost was on it too. I'm told you will get more hits with the fluorocarbon, nobody mentioned you would loose a bunch also.
But hey, it's all good, we had a great day on the water.
