Fishin' Reports

I am putting the finishing touches on my Spring E-Letter. In this issue, which is number 50, I did a very lengthy article on kokanee fishing on Lake Chelan. I wrote another on Billy Clapp Lake that talks about the good rainbow, kokanee and walleye fishing that can be had there. I talked about how much I like using Kokabow Fishing Tackle on Lake Chelan, and it occurred to me that since I am talking about getting tackle organized I should mention the really cool storage bags I have for my blades. These are made by Mauk Fishing Stuff. I have known the owner Mike for many years and met him at one of the Brewster Salmon Derbies years ago. He was making clear plastic and Velcro items that would hold Super Baits then, and now has expanded his line a wide variety of stuff that works great for keeping your tackle in order. The one I use for my Kokabow blades can also be used for other kinds of kokanee or trout blades. It is made of heavy-duty, clear plastic and nylon and is stitched together to hold 20 of the large blades. It all folds up and closes with Velcro so is very compact. It’s perfect for this type of gear.
