Decided to take a look at Rollins and see how the catching was, water temp 63 degrees, visibility 10+ ft......WOW....perfect conditions. Started fishing at 7 am on the south end of the lake, caught about 15 little males in a couple of hours, and by 10 am the bright sun put a end to the catching. I used a intermediate line, 15 foot leader+tippet, with a translucent streamer, for the very clear water.
While i was float tubing along the edge of the steep shore i spotted this deer swimming across the lake toward me which was a very long swim (1/2+ mile), it looked like it was starting to run out of energy, but it final made it to shore and just stood there with its head down thinking, DAM that was a long way to swim but she worth it.
About and hour later here come's another deer swimming across the lake, i was fishing a very steep part of the shore line and didn't see where this deer could get out, but to my surprise it found a rock to stand on next to this sheer cliff and then it was gone....these deer are tough.
