After five days of snow recently, I think that we are finally on our way to spring up here in Leavenworth. The last bit of snow just melted off my front walk. This has to be the longest winter I have experienced in my over 20 years of living up here. I had been watching the forecasts for a break in the weather, and to my surprise it was going to be clear and calm at Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee on Sunday. I had been waiting for just such a day to see if I could catch some of the kokanee that were planted in the lake. In June of last year, the WDFW put 63,000 kokanee in Fish Lake, and I heard that there were some taken through the ice last winter. I figured that the kokanee would be in the middle of the lake and deep. I was wrong. The first fish we got was a 15-inch brown trout. When I brought the gear up to less than 20 feet we got some kokanee on my favorite Kokabow gear. The kokanee were a sleek 12 to 13 inches. Here’s another good reason to try Fish Lake!
 
I got this kokanee that measure 13 inches on Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee.
