One of my favorite lakes is Roses, near Manson at Lake Chelan. It offers a variety of species, so if the trout aren’t biting the bass just might. If the bass aren’t biting, the bluegill surely will. If the bluegill aren’t biting, you may just want to try for catfish. I visited the lake recently and found the trout biting, in spite of very heavy winds. We struggled to keep the boat straight in heavy gusts while trying to land the 12- to 13-inch rainbow that were jumping on my frog-patterned Flat Fish. We were even reeling in the occasional very large bluegill while trolling for trout. The bluegill were a surprise as we were often trolling in over 20 feet of water. The bluegill are as big as your hand and great fighters. While we were reeling in rainbow and I noticed another boat that looked like the angler aboard was into something big. Sure enough when they got the fish to the net it turned out to be a catfish that looked like it weighed about 8 pounds! We switched from trout fishing to working the shoreline with spinners and a jig and bobber. The bluegill and sunfish are plentiful, but largemouth scarce on this windy day.
