I have mentioned that I have done better fishing for sockeye on Lake Wenatchee when there was some wind. There can be too much, though. Last Wednesday it was blowing when we left the dock and got worse. It can be tough trying to manage the rods and keep your speed right in these conditions. Thursday was different. There was some wind, but not enough to force me to start the kicker in reverse to keep our speed down. Tom Verschuren and I got limits of sockeye and found that we could get fish on a variety of hook colors. We got them on black hooks, bright pink and bright orange. We didn’t bother with the double dodger setup on the downriggers either. We got fish at the top end and then just continued down the lake out in the middle and had our limits by the time we were across from the dock where we launch. The fish are still in good shape, but there was one in our catch that was washed out. Better get your fish now while they are worth keeping. When they start to change from bright red meat to orange and then white happens fast.
