Tom Verschuren and I got an earlier start on Chelan than I did last week, figuring on a morning bite. Well, we didn’t get a fish until after nine, and it was a cutthroat. We were pestered by cutts off Chelan Shores, the Red Roofs, and off Lakeside Park, so I moved us up lake. I took us to the Blue Roofs, and I wanted to be in at least 130 feet of water. That’s where the kokanee were. The action wasn’t fast and furious, but we kept putting fish in the cooler. We were getting a mix of sizes with many over 14 inches. A Kokabow Blue Back Feather was working well, but I wanted to see if we I could attract more bites, so I put one rod out with two Kokabow blades in tandem. The first fish we got on that setup was a 16-inch kokanee! All our fish came on downriggers, as I was chasing small schools that I saw on the fish finder. We got nothing on our back, lead ball rigs, which was very unusual. We were blown off the lake a little after noon, but we had 14 nice kokanee in the cooler by then.
