The Laketrout Bite on Lake Chelan has remained very consistent for this last week..Still targeting Mack Bar early in the morning and then moving to the lower lake as the the bite slows..Target the 200 to 220ft. depths in the trench to find the Biters..

Troll the Ace Hi-Fly next to the bottom in the green glow spatterback color tipped with either herring fillet or Northern Pikeminnow (Squawfish).

While out fishing spotted this small band of Sheep on the Northshore and they let me get close for a nice Picture..

I have had numerous emails and calls in regards to my last report on Rufus. You may have read from other guide reports that the bite is slow at Rufus but I can say it has not been slow for me using the casting technique. It has not been on fire but consistent.. Thanks to all for all the interest and tight Lines to all.. Pictured here is Vicki Shumaker and Dave Helton with 9 lakers caught with me out on a 4 hr boat..
