Yeah, I'm rating it a 1 because, for the first time in I forget how long, we got skunked. Nada. Zero. One takedown about 2hrs in but nothing more.

On the bright side, water was calm, we spent half a day on the water, watched abundant wildlife, and I enjoyed being on my favorite lake as a belated birthday weekend. Now that was a 5!

We trolled the typical gear we always do but I varied speeds a lot to see if something other than my normal tactic would work. Perch pattern, yellows, oranges, chartreuse, combinations thereof, nothing.

Pulled gear in about noon and headed back as the kids were coming up to spend the afternoon with us, that meant grandpa time which capped my day.

Had planned to motor down to Keller Ferry but changed my mind when I saw the heavy overcast and calm water. Shoulda stuck with the plan.

Always next time... :-)

There are those days when everything you try is negative. Been there, done that. For me, Home water Rosie always a good day. I know you’ll be back.

Belated Happy Birthday! Mine is the 16th.

Lost a dear friend late December whose birthday was also the 18th. He would have been 91. He tied the flies in the picture and we soaked them the entire time in his honor.

As you said, just being out there on Roosevelt is a good day. It's just kind of weird when you can't get a bite with stuff that has produced before and you know will again. Hoping for a Friday trip.
