Thursday was our 24th anniversary and my wife wanted to hit two lakes to celebrate. We first launched on Lake Chelan at the city launch above the dam, only to discover that the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft Phantom didn’t fit under the bridge! So, we turned around, pulled the boat and headed to her second choice, which was Roses Lake. We hadn’t fished Roses for years and have great memories of our times on the water here. I wanted to catch some bluegill to show folks what size they were. When the screen on the Garmin filled with fish I put the Minn Kota on Spot Lock. We got a few in one of my usual spots at the top end and then fired up the Mercury 250 and headed to the bottom end of the lake. I decided to look for fish by trolling. I put out the Kokabow blades and spinners were going to use for kokanee and immediately started catching bluegill. I kept the trolling gear on, baited with scented corn and caught a nice rainbow, and to top it off got a dandy crappie, too. We had a wonderful time on Roses Lake!
