The families that attended the Kids Fishing Day at the National Fish Hatchery at Ardenvoir on the Entiat River caught a lot of trout. They also were able to see quite a number of spring salmon that have made into the hatchery pond there, but anglers are still experiencing slow fishing for springers so far this new season. Talking to one of the hatchery personnel, I learned that about ten fish show up at the hatchery every evening, so there are fish making their way up the small river. The number of fish entering the Entiat should take a dramatic jump when the chilly water flows settle down. As many as 1,600 spring salmon are expected to return to the hatchery this year, so anglers can anticipate much better fishing soon. Trout anglers can expect hot fishing for rainbow at Roses Lake. I made another trip to Roses recently and the three anglers who were with me had no problem getting limits of fat, 13-inch rainbow. If you want to try it, rig up with Flash Lites and a Wedding Ring, just like you’d use for kokanee on Chelan. Put a crawler and worm on, too, and hang on!
