9/25/2016 2:09:00 PMGlad to see somebody reporting on the big lake - looking forward to a little cooler water temps, say in about three weeks - I hope
the Koke's show up then too - thanks for the report !! Still looking to try out a couple of your flies I bought a few months ago - tried
them once, but was to late to do any good.

9/25/2016 3:03:00 PMWe felt the same way, had to get out and see how the lake was doing. Morning fog that burned off to a sunny day made for a beautiful trip. I appreciate you giving the flies a try. You're right, cooler weather will get things going. Hopefully it brings those big bows up! Good luck when you decide to head out. -Dave

9/25/2016 4:43:00 PMHey Dave great to see a report from you. When I meet you at Lake Chelan two years ago at the Washington Lakes get together, I got two of your Kekeda flies, one orange and one purple. Those two flies have been my " go to " set up every time the fishing is slow and they always seem to produce. I have found the Kokes just love them. They are both so wore down they hardly look like flies anymore. I bet I have boated over a hundred fish with each fly, trout, kokes, perch and even a couple walleye. Where can I buy more of these gems? Once again it's great reading your report and looking forward to seeing you on the water, if you see the Seahawk boat give us a wave. Bob

9/25/2016 5:14:00 PMWe'll definitely motor over if we see you on the water. I'm really glad to hear the flies are working so well for you. I appreciate you fishing them and letting others know how well they're working for you. You can find them on www.etsy.com/kekedatackle or feel free to give me a call and place a phone order. I always love talking fishing, it's a bonus for me when guys order over the phone. Happy you're enjoying them and thanks again for the kind comment. Hope to see you on the water. -Dave

If the fishing heats up early we will head that way sooner rather than later. Made it over last March and the fishing was awesome. Thank you for sending your flies and for your suggestions on how to fish them. Good luck to you from over here near Longview. See ya later--Denny

9/26/2016 8:07:00 AMSo good to see a report from you Dave, it's been awhile. Surface temps still a bit too warm, need to be under 60° for the bigger ones. That and bright days push 'em a bit lower in the water column. I'll be up Wednesday and hoping to find some carryovers, sounds like I need to leave downriggers on a bit longer. ;-)

9/26/2016 9:17:00 AMHi Dave - Great to see a report from you on Lake Roosevelt. Fall finds me salmon fishing but I will be getting back to the big lake later in October. Can't wait to have the big fish tear up your flies. They always work great for me and friends I have on the boat!

9/27/2016 10:48:00 PMDenny- Hope you get to come over soon, and a couple times this Fall and Winter. Thanks for using the flies, hope they continue to work for you.
Phil- It was good to get out. After our 3rd baby was born in June my fishing time really took a hit. We were hoping to repeat last year (wishful thinking I know) when we did really well with some big fish at Lincoln the first weekend of October. Still fun to get out there on a beautiful sunny day. Good luck when you head out. I got a good report tonight about up into the arm and a 5 pounder caught on an orange Kekeda while trolling up there. Didn't get an exact location though.
Alan- I'm looking forward to reading about those salmon trips. I saw the recent one, always fun to read. I always appreciate you supporting and using my flies. Good luck and hope you get back to Rosie soon, with a freezer full of salmon!
