It had been a few weeks since I had the chance to get back to Lake Chelan to do some kokanee fishing. The kokanee are running larger than usual this year, and I really like to have a good supply of them in my freezer. My friends James Lebow and Ryan Harris met me at Mill Bay, and we started trolling as soon as we found the deep water outside the bay. We were into fish right away and had several in the boat as we continued to troll down to Rocky Point. We were trolling Kokabow blades and spinners and trying different combinations to see what worked the best. The rod with the Blue Back Tail Feather on it was the hot rod. Tried our luck off the Red Roofs, the Blue Roofs and Lakeside Park. We actually had good action right off Mill Bay and later on off the Blue Roofs. I got a surprise catch of a laker of about 6 pounds hit my kokanee gear and gave me a good tussle in the shallow water off Lakeside Park. I put together a video while we were on the water, and it’s already posted on the Dave Graybill YouTube channel.
