I still don't have the results of the Big Wally's Spring Class Walleye Tournament, but I know the bass fishing is at Banks---great! Conditions for the walleye tournament guys was tough; flat calm and very hot. This however was just what the doctor ordered for our smallmouth fishing. It did take me some time to find good numbers of willing fish. I didn't find the fish on the flats at Barker Canyon as I thought. I found a few on the shoreline to the south, but we didn't really starting nailing lots of fish until I ran down lake almost as far as Rose Bush and began working the west shore. We found really good numbers of willing fish and even a couple of real dandies. My fishing buddies, Rollie Schmitten and Eric Grandstrom, were leaving in their dust with their catches, until I put on one of my favorite Shad Rap Rapalas. The smallmouth definitely liked this lure and I not only held my own but caught maybe the biggest fish of the day. Rollie and Eric were casting a large, white grub and caught fish with it every where we went. I can also report that the kokanee fishing on Lake Chelan is still very, very good.
