I got a call from Jim Paine, who I had fished with on Lake Roosevelt last winter with Alan Greenbaugh from Kokabow Tackle. He asked me if I would like to try Lake Chelan for kokanee on Thursday. Oh boy, you bet I would, so I met him at his home in Cashmere and we headed to the launch at Mill Bay. I thought that we should start at The Stairs, as I have found some fish here on earlier kokanee trips to Chelan. We put the gear out on the downriggers and had our Kokabow blades and hoochies down at 83 and 100 feet. I was running one of my favorite combos with an orange spinner, but Jim had two fish to my one. He likes a green Kokabow combo this time of year on Chelan and he gave me a green blade and I put on one of my green squidders. It worked! We put a few fish in the cooler here and decided to try around Mitchell Creek. We pulled the gear and headed up there, where we saw the only two other boats on the lake. We got a couple here but then headed down to Green’s Landing and eventually to Rocky Point. Neither one of these spots produced fish. We didn’t exactly kill ‘em on Thursday, but we had a great time.
 
 
This Kokabow green blade and green squidder combo worked well for kokanee on Chelan last Thursday.
