We have never seen a sockeye run like the one that is coming up the Columbia River this year. There will be over 750,000 of them headed up the river, and almost all of them are going to pass through the Brewster Pool on their way to Canada. The sockeye catches are the best we’ve ever seen, too. Every location, whether it’s below Rocky Reach Dam, above the dam, below Wells Dam or in the Brewster Pool is beyond what anglers have ever experienced. The sockeye season on Lake Wenatchee should be announced soon, and people anticipate an early opener. The count at Tumwater Dam has already blown past the needed escapement number of 23,000 required. Fish are showing up at almost double the numbers of last year at this time. Over three times the number of sockeye made it to Lake Wenatchee last year than were forecast. The forecast this year is for 97,000. Could we see 200,000 to the lake? Maybe. Could the daily limit on Lake Wenatchee be six fish this year? We’ll see. I have been busy preparing, helping my friend Rollie get this dock ready for the season and getting three-hook leaders tied. I am excited.
