Ken joined us today for his first Roosevelt trout/Kokanee outing. We began trolling in front of the Spring Canyon launch heading toward the dam with lines in the water by 7:15. It was a grinder day trying to find some pattern. We never had a hit on crankbaits but pink Kedaka flies saved the day fished 9 inches behind Dodgers/sling blades tipped with red fire corn. Watermelon Apex fished the same way also yielded some fish. We ended up with 10 Kokanee and 3 trout. Nine of the Kokes were between 11-13 inches but Ken's first ever Koke was 19 1/2 inches. No carryover trout. All the fish came off the down riggers between 18-25 feet, speed 1.5-1.8 mph. Most of the fish came closer to the north shore than the south side. We wasted 1 hour briefly trying swawilla with zero results. We headed in at 2:00 pm. It was a fun day on the water and the first time we have ever ended up with more Kokes than trout.
