Fished the Columbia between Keller and Spring Canyon. Was pursuing kokanee but was denied. The trout angling didn't disappoint however.
Caught 3 jumbo smallmouth to start the day (all over 3 lbs) before I decided to relocate. Saw some fish jumping so I mosied on through trolling the upper 20 feet of water and started getting action. Caught 13 fish before the area went dead. I decided to take my kokanee pursuits to another location where I continued to catch good numbers of quality trout for the last few hours of the day. I didn't succeed in landing any kokanees but ended the day with a limit of quality planter rainbows and catching and releasing some nice native fish which comprised around 1/5 of the couple dozen I caught.
I'll rate the day a 4 because the action was good, the quality was good (avg. around 18") and the weather was absolutely perfect, dead calm and quiet.

Nice! What a great sounding day on the water. Thanks for sharing the report. Those rainbows and smallies kept it interesting at least while chasing the Kokanee.

Indeed Kekeda. We are very fortunate to have Roosey in our backyard, atleast only 25 miles away:) btw I would like to put some of your creations to the test. Where would you suggest I buy them online? Ty Sir. Tight lines!

Online is a great way to order. Etsy.com/shop/kekedatackle is the only place I sell them online or if you’re local you can give me a call or email and we can figure out a time to meet up. I always enjoy meeting the people that are going to be using the flies. Thank you!

I had noticed that option. I'll make a purchase. Ty Dave:)

I wouldn't promote a product unless it works well. Unless you tie your own, Dave's Kekeda flies are, IMHO, the best trout flies, bar none, for Roosevelt. I've tried many, but once Dave started down the path of perfecting his trolling flies for Roosevelt (with some feedback from me), I left all the others behind.

As most know, they are my "go to" trolling fly at Roosevelt. Hope you guys left some for us, watch for reports next week. :-)
