I am really tired of the rain we are getting here in Leavenworth. I know, I know, we need it, but it has sure put a damper on my plans to get out on the water. I am still getting reports of good kokanee fishing on Lake Chelan, with fish averaging a fat 13 inches. I ran into Joe Zelinski, who was checking catches of coho on the Icicle River for the WDFW, and he had fished Chelan recently. He said that he got a quick limit above the Yacht Club recently, and he marked very good numbers of fish in the lower basin, too. He found most of the fish at the 60- to 80-foot level on the lake. He also showed me a couple of photos from recent trips to Potholes Reservoir. He has been trolling crank baits and was catching an amazing variety of fish. He was getting mostly walleye, but also had some big bluegill, some crappie and even rainbow trout. I did stop by the Icicle River later last week and found a proud angler with a fish he caught while casting from the handicapped platform. He had landed a very mature hen.
