The Guppy handled the water but the fish pretty muchly handled us. My son and I went down to Keller hoping to do even better than I had on my trip the end of October but alas those pesky devils seemed to be somewhere else. Fished from the tires down to the South Wall and along it and only picked up 2 fish and never marked a single fish on the FF. Dropped down to Swalila and mark a few down there but got very few hits and only landed one of them. Slow day, only saw 2 other boats and one of them had none and the other got 6. Think we had a Kokanee strike but he came to the surface and tossed the hook before Sam could really get started with him.
Have any of the rest of you felt that they actually sneer at you sometimes when the hook is whistling through the air?

Catching might not have been the best, but you were out on the water enjoying life so that still makes it a good trip IMO. :-)

Public Service Announcement - Rules for Roosevelt are changing sometime in December and ALL native trout (kokanee excluded) with an intact adipose fin will have to be released. Please see the news release here - http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/oct0716a/

These trips are the ones that get us out next time. I've been there several times myself. Just scratching my head and wondering. I'm sure being out with your son was the best part of the trip anyway. You'll get 'em next time. Thanks for sharing the report. -Dave

Life is good to be able to be out with your son fish or not. Have a great Thanksgiving -
