We pounded away through the lower basin to get five lakers. It was nice that the big fish was caught by the little boy at the end of the day. Water from 210 to 245 was most productive. Luminous Cha...

Well, the old U20 Luminous Chartreuse was the producer. Four of the six fish came off of one lure. Sometimes it's weird how all the fish lock in on particular lure. We put one decent fish in the bo...

Roamed the lower basin looking for smallmouths. Water temp is 43, top to bottom out to 25 feet. Still too cold for the bass to be very active.

Took Jim Chadwick of Issaquah and his buddy out. We snicked a fish off the Bar and kept moving. The indeterminate flat between the Bar and the Trench was the best of it for me today. Most fish came...

John Arnott and his son Sam (9) were nice enough to come out with me for a few hours. Due to travel plans we did a mid day trip. The best of it was the potholes below the Bar and above the Trench. ...

Scouted around from Manson down lake, looking for smallmouth on the move. Caught a few here and there, nothing to win a prize with. But it was good to mark a few spots on the GPS for higher water an...

Pounding the lower end of Lake Chelan with the U20 luminous chartreuse flatfish was once again productive. Keep speeds between 1.4 and 1.6 mph and stay tight to the bottom. What a wonderfully consis...

Fooled around trying to catch Kokanee without success. Went to find lakers off the face of Manson Bay. That went OK. Look in water from 160 to 190 feet deep. It's a steep slope. It's nice to be b...
