I am moving my boat down from the dock at Rollie Schmitten’s on Lake Wenatchee and take it home on Wednesday, with the help of my good friend Jim Passage. He lives near Plain and last year he picked me up in his Corvette and let me feel the “Gs” when he stepped on the gas. Jim is an expert sockeye fisherman on Lake Wenatchee and treats many of his friends and family to days of fishing with him during the season. I have had the pleasure of fishing with him a time or two. This has been, easily, the best season I have ever had on the lake. With a four-fish limit I had my freezer full to overflowing. I was able to take lots of my friends and family out and we experienced terrific fishing. The quality of the fish is still good, and the season isn’t over, but I need to move on to some other fisheries. I have already had some great evenings on the upper Icicle fly fishing for small trout, and I want to do some more walleye fishing. There are a couple more lakes and streams on my list and time is short!
These tanker planes put on a great air show one evening on Lake Wenatchee. They skimmed the water to fill their tanks to drop on a fire nearby.
