Deer Crick Gate

[parryconner]

I slept in and got there at seven, the gate was open, I didn’t have any issues. I did have issues catching fish though. I trolled around a bunch and marked a lot of fish, I ended up landing one rainbow on a metallic purple kastmaster, lost two others on the same lure. Seems like the guys on the bank, fishing off of sailboat Beach that were doing a heck of a lot better than me. I tried pop gear and a worm, couple different trolling spoons, no luck. Did see a young two point buck still packing antlers walking along the bank with a few doe’s, they came down for a drink and wandered back up the hill

Side note, my mercury 9.9 is pushing this boat about 1.8-2.0mph at the lowest speed, is this too fast for trolling?
