It was a beautiful day in Leavenworth on Thursday, and when I checked the web cam on Fish Lake it was dead calm. I just had to get out on the water, even if it was going to be by myself. I threw a couple of kokanee rods and tackle in the boat and even put a bass rod and one of my boxes of bass gear, too. I remembered to scent some shoe peg corn, so I was ready to go. I had put the downriggers on for a trip to Lake Chelan with my wife and batteries were charged. The road into the Cove Resort was very bumpy, so I took it very slow. When I stopped to take the straps off the boat I found one of my riggers hanging by the power cord and actually touching the ground. I threw it in the boat and launched it anyway. I spent a very short time trolling and managed to get one kokanee but decided I had better get home and fix the rigger. I rushed home and got it done. I am ready to try for kokanee on Lake Chelan.
