Keller Bay Day Trip
October 24, 2009

 
Trip Description:
 

 

Keller Bay seems to always have lots of 14.5 inch trout. Some days you can catch about 50 trout.. and keep about 5 to 7. That is not bad in my book. In the cooler months they are bigger and we have caught them. There are several locations to find fish in Keller Bay. We usually find trout in the areas with grass. If you can see dark grass you will usually be catching trout.    The reds seem to be nearer to the south shore and allow the ledges along the shore.  

We have made several trips to Keller this year and found lots of little trout. There are Redfish along the banks but the trout are out about 50 yards from the bank.
