Look at the size of this kokanee I caught on Friday at Lake Chelan. We didn't find many fish, but the ones we caught were sure dandies.

As you can see I am pretty pleased with this 32-inch, 12-pound wild steelhead I am about to release. I got it on the Methow, fishing with Keith Roe, of Raven Jigs, and it jumped four times. What a fish!

Jim Passage, of Lake Wenatchee, saved our fishing day recently, with this hatchery steelhead he caught on a jig with an egg bead dropper.
We were fishing on the Columbia just below the outflow of the Chelan Hatchery.

When the weigh-in deadline was reached the area in and around the Derby Headquarters at Burke Lake was packed. Fishing was very good so there were lots of trout to check in. The biggest trout ever was caught this year, weighing over 6 pounds, eight ounces.

The Headquarters tent was a busy spot at the annual Quincy Valley Tourism Association's Trout Derby at Burke Lake. Over 500 folks entered this year and had a blast trying to catch a tagged trout worth $2,000.00.
