After the First Fish Ceremony at the Colville Tribal Hatchery in Bridgeport everyone was treated to a lunch that included traditionally cooked salmon.

Here is Rollie Schmitten about to cast to cutthroat in a hole on the Teanaway River. Fishing was tough due to low water.

My fishing partner Rollie Schmitten spotted this water snake trying to swallow a whole crawdad on the Teanaway River.

There are still tons of kokanee of this size being taken on Lake Chelan and there are still some 15-inchers in my cooler at the end of the day.

This has been my winning combination for catching kokanee on Lake Chelan this year. Double blades and a spinner from Kokabow Fishing Tackle.

Chad Jackson, of the Department of Fish and Wildlife office in Ephrata, and I tried for kokanee at Billy Clapp, but settled for some smallmouth bass fishing.

Everyone that has fished at Billy Clapp Reservoir, near Soap Lake, is familiar with this big basalt island. I have caught kokanee around it before, but not this year.

Gary Feil, of Bob Feil Boats and Motors, holds one of the many kokanee we caught while fishing at Lake Chelan. Once again Kokabow Fishing Tackle worked the best.
