When sockeye fishing is as good as it is on Lake Wenatchee, it’s hard to quit. It’s time though. I need to get on with some video projects and some other fisheries that I enjoy in the summer. I had spectacular fishing, as did many others this year. The incredible return of sockeye made for a season to remember. I put triple digit numbers of fish in the boat and am on my third punch card. It was a wonderful experience, taking so many of my family out fishing and seeing the fun people had when on my boat. I should thank them for getting up so early and getting knocked around on the many windy days that we had this year on the lake. I also want thank my good friend Rollie who has provided me with space on his dock. It made it so easy for me to get folks out on the water. My thanks goes out to Jim Passage who always helps me move my boat to State Park launch and to Tom Verschuren who is helping me move my boat and trailer home. Next stop—Banks Lake!
