Sockeye fishing on the Columbia River has been great, with limit catches coming from below Wells Dam and in the Brewster Pool. I haven’t been able to get to either of these fishing locations yet, but I have been busy getting ready for Lake Wenatchee. I have high hopes for the season this year. The sockeye numbers over Tumwater Dam are very encouraging. When I checked the count on Tuesday morning it was 10,091, and when I stopped by later that day it was 11,532. We are about half way to the needed escapement of 23,000. The bulk of he run has yet to hit our area. Meanwhile I have been helping get the dock ready on Lake Wenatchee. Just the usual anchoring adjustments after Rollie and his wife Barbara moved the docks down from the head of the lake. The ramp also needed some work, so I helped carry it up and load it onto a flatbed trailer for repairs. It looks like everything will be ready to fish for sockeye season. All we need now is fish. Also, you can see late-run spring salmon and the fresh sockeye from the highway in the deep hole below the Tumwater Bridge.
