Thursday was the only the second calm day on Lake Wenatchee this season. What a pleasure, just running on my bow mount electric. Last year I got Travis Maitland, District Biologist for Region 2 out fishing, and we had a great day. On Thursday Travis came fishing with me again, and this year we were joined by Chad Jackson, Fish Program Manager for Region 2. I have known both of these guys for years, long before I served on the WDFW Commission. They have been very helpful, keeping me up to date on area fisheries. Both of them are avid anglers, and it was real pleasure having them on the boat. They knew how to run the riggers, set the other rods and net the fish. It was a nice break. I usually am doing all of these things while driving the boat. We got off to a good start and had four fish in the cooler fairly quickly. The action slowed after the first hour or so, but we just kept plugging away and picked up a fish every now and then. We covered quite a bit of water and got our 12 fish. A terrific day on the water!
