Made my first fall fishing trip to Roosevelt Saturday, launched at Lincoln About 9 am wind was blowing and kind of choppy but headed down towards sterling, as we left the launch I thot it seemed like we were missing something an I soon realized we were.....the net! I knew right where it was, hanging on the wall in my shop 2 hrs away...Decided to make the best of it an go fishing we could just wing them in the boat right? Started fishing just up river from Sterling 2 poles leaded line 3 colors & 2 poles on the DR 12'-15' down an 95 ft set back. 1 orange fly 1 perch color 1 orange & black and 1 gold body with some black & red trolling speed 2-2.5 mph. First fish came rite into the boat who needs a net...? Well it kinda went down hill from there, you do need a net, lost a lot of fish 4ft from the boat, we did get 8 in the boat 1 was a nice fat 20''. Didn't keep track of all we lost but I'm sure it was 10-15 fish, all rods produced about the same no one color was any better than the others, all in all a great day of fishing and the net IS in the boat ready for round 2! Kekeda Flys are my favorite, keep up the good work Dave....
