Launched out of Spring Canyon and started trolling towards Plum Point this morning starting about 9:00. Standard set up for us being two rods on downriggers. One had a pink Kekeda fly and the other an Orange. About 3/4 of the way down we get a fish on the pink fly. My nephew starts reeling in and we see it had spit the hook... well as we keep reeling we realize it had broken off the leader. Not a problem, I obviously have plenty of flies being the guy that ties them. WRONG!! I didn't have another pink fly in the box. So I rigged up a chartreuse and orange fly that I've had luck with in the past. We get one more bump along that stretch and decide to head over to Swawilla. We start our trolling pass and come to one of the draws that heads down into the water and pick up a fish... then another right away. We ended up making a tight little circle over about 100' of water and caught 5 fish. We had to call it a day earlier than usual and wish we could have found the fish sooner. We had at least as many hits as we did fish. Fish were caught on Kekeda flies orange and chartreuse/orange on the downrigger at 12' and 17' over deeper water trolling at 2.3 to 2.6 mph. Gorgeous day on Roosevelt.

Kekeda flies work really well all through the summer catching these big Rainbows and we'll pick up the occasional Kokanee too. Please visit my website below and place an order. When you post on WA Lakes using Kekeda flies you're name will be entered for a monthly drawing for 5 free flies of your color choice shipped to your door.
