Rob Phillips, the outdoor writer for the Yakima Herald and I had a hard time getting a date to fish Lake Wenatchee for sockeye that worked for both of us. We tried two or three times and had to change the date. I was about to give up when Sunday the 13th turned out to be the lucky day. Rob left Yakima at 3 a.m. to meet me at Coles Corner and he followed me to Rollie’s Schmitten’s place. I was amazed to see the lake flat calm. I had fished in heavy wind for several days, and this was going to be a pleasure. I had no idea how good it was going to be. When I dropped the gear I didn’t get all four rods out before Rob was cranking in a fish. In fact, we never got all four rods out. We had rods leaning again the gunnels, fish flopping on the deck, it was wild. Rob netted a fish for me, and announced that we were done. I looked at my watch and it was 6:40. I have never put two limits of sockeye in the boat in such a short time. That was some fun fishing.
