Red Fleet

[POk3s]

Been waiting for an excuse to hit red fleet for a couple of years now and finally today was that day. Day off work with cool temps mixed with wind and rain in flaming gorge country so I headed over the mountain where the forecast said 70 and cloudy. It was spot on. Windy this morning but it laid down about noon or so. Took me a while to figure out this new game. Trolled everything I had mixing in different speeds, different setbacks, etc and couldn’t get anything to bite. Finally I pulled up to one of the spots I had marked while trolling around, and parked over a school of fish. I was reluctant at first that they were even game fish but being as the Lake was recently treated I thought they had to be wipers. A few very small taps for the first bite made me wonder but I soon hooked up with my first wiper. Small yet mighty. I came home with my allowed 6 and released 6 others. Of those 12 there were a handful that didn’t know how to hold on to the bait long enough. All in all a great day!
