Deer Crick Gate

[duofish]

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?

Much of it is opinion and mine is that this time of year .9 to 1.4 is the best for Deer Creek Rainbows.
