Started fishing just after daylight, started trolling right out of the Keller Ferry launch and caught first fish before clearing the marker buoys. Fishing with Orange Kakeda setups tipped with white corn on leaded line back three colors. Catching was not fast and furious but we had consistent hits all morning. We were limited and back to the dock at 1:30. Very nice, relaxing day of fishing. Largest trout that my son caught was just over 20 inches and we had several over 17 inches. We marked very few fish on the finder but still managed to find them. Fish seemed to be very lethargic, they didn't hit hard and didn't fight as much as normal.

Wow aren't those big ones nice. Thanks for the report, I really like fishing in the Keller area to, just feels right down there and there are several different spots that you can look for them, looks like you found one of the good spots.

Those are great fish! We couldn't find one of those 20 inchers. Good on you guys for getting one. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Thank you for using the flies and letting us know how you did with them. -Dave

Great report and nice fish! Last couple outings I noticed they were feeding heavily on mysis shrimp, so maybe they're just so full they don't have any energy. ;-)

Sharing so all will know: 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/
