Fished Swawilla and around the rock wall downstream from Keller this morning for some Kokanee. We picked up numerous planters that kept our attention but not what we were after. We were fishing with pink and orange Kekeda flies behind dodgers tipped with power maggots. We were zig zagging out of the river channel over deeper water with downriggers anywhere from 12' down to 60'. Towards the end of the day we were toying around with depths and rounded a point that was about 25 feet deep and my buddy was rewarded with a 19" smallmouth. Fun bonus fish on the orange Kekeda. Had a great day and called it quits at 11 to get back home. All fish were released.

I'm having a summer sale on Kekedas this month. If you haven't tried these flies yet or need to stock up before fall and winter rainbow fishing here's your chance.
