The scheduled trip to Omak Lake came together last Thursday and Friday, and we had excellent conditions to fish for Lahontan cutthroat. I picked up Buell Hawkins and Greg Meinzer in Wenatchee and we arrived at the lake after a two hour drive. The launch on Beer Can Beach is very rough, but I was able to launch my 20-foot Smoker Craft and we drove down to the south end of the lake. When we arrived, there were fish dimpling the surface all around us. I put two of my favorite plugs out on downriggers at 70 and 80 feet deep, and flatlined an M2 Flatfish on one rod out the back and a Coho Killer on the other. When the fish started biting we were busy. We had doubles and triples, and we were having a blast. We fished three and half hours Thursday afternoon and when we hit 30 fish on the counter we headed for the launch. On Friday we fished for another three hours and landed 43. I put a Coyote spoon on one of the rods and tried some different plugs and found a large Bandit deadly. We measured several fish and found they averaged 18 inches.The scheduled trip to Omak Lake came together last Thursday and Friday, and we had excellent conditions to fish for Lahontan cutthroat.
