As many of you know, I do a lot of videos of fishing destinations throughout Eastern Washington, and some are about specific species. When I do something on how to catch trout, bass, walleye or one of the other great species available to us here in the region, I try to give a lot of details. I want people who haven’t fished for a certain species enough information to have success. Later this week I decided to do something on fishing for bluegill and crappie. These two fish have provided me with hours of fun when I was young, and I still like to fish for them. When I mentioned this plan, people started telling me about the places they go. Potholes Reservoir is high on the list. Not only are the bluegill here abundant, but they are big. The crappie in Potholes have also increased in population the past few years. Roses Lake, near Manson at Lake Chelan is another place where people can catch good numbers of bluegill and crappie, and the bluegill are big here, too. I also hear that the biggest bluegill in the state may be in Wapato Lake. I hope to give all of these a try soon.
