I told you my daughter Whitney loves to fish Banks Lake. She has great luck catching walleye and smallmouth bass. She also likes to take swim breaks while we are on the water, and that was the plan for last weekend. However, it poured down rain on Saturday, so we had to come up with something else to do. We went to the Pybus Farmer’s Market and got some Quincy corn and Manila clams for dinner. Then we drove to Sunnyslope to visit Ohme Gardens, something she has wanted to do for years. The rain held off long enough for us to explore this very special place with vistas of the Wenatchee Valley. On Sunday I took her to Fish Lake. We had fished here before, but never for perch. I picked a spot out in the middle of the lower end of the lake, and we tossed out our hooks baited with chunks of nightcrawler. There were plenty of perch around and she had a blast. The sun came out, the wind died down, and we watched both a bald eagle and ospreys pluck fish from the lake. I sent her home with a bag of perch fillets for dinner—Yum!
