I took a day off from fishing Lake Wenatchee sockeye so I could get caught up on some of the work I needed to get done. Number one was getting the July Update to the Fishing Magician E-Letter out to my subscribers. I delayed getting the Quarterly E-Letter sent out, due to the frequent changes to the upper Columbia River salmon seasons. There were new Emergency Regulations being announced weekly. First there was the changes in the Chinook and sockeye fishing. Chinook fishing was closed in many areas, and the sockeye fishing limit was reduced. Finally, sockeye fishing was completely closed on the upper Columbia River and Chinook fishing was only allowed from Rocky Reach Dam to Wells Dam. The good news was that Lake Wenatchee was opened to sockeye fishing with a four fish limit. I delayed the delivery of the Monthly Update to subscribers until I had actually fished Lake Wenatchee, to share what I had learned about the fishing this year. In the Monthly Update I talked about hook selection, use of double dodgers, depths I am fishing and the best speed. In addition to Lake Wenatchee sockeye fishing, in the Monthly Update, I also talk about Walleye Fishing and some other often overlooked fisheries in the region. To subscribe to the Monthly Updates, go to my website and click on the E-Letter button.
