I haven’t been on the water since late December, so when my niece Ellie Coen called and invited me to go fishing I said, yes, please! I met her crew, who she frequently fishes with at the State Park on Sunday, and we took off looking for lake trout and kings. This same crew had fished Lake Chelan recently, and had a great day. They caught a bunch of lake trout, including a couple of real whoppers, and a small king. We ran down lake from the State Park and I suggested that we try the “hump” or Mack Island just below the tip of Wapato Point. Skipper Justin Whitman and Kellen Drake ran out the rods while I located the fishing area. There were fish here, too. We would mark two or three at a time on the screen, but they weren’t very hungry. We finally did get a fish on, and Addie Sangster pulled it in. We then ran a line from the tip of Wapato down to Rocky Point and got a bunch of hits but no hookups—except one. Emme Tucker cranked this one in. Gosh it was nice to be out on the water. Thanks everyone for having me along.
