I reported earlier that the WDFW planted trout in many lakes across the state before the Thanksgiving Holiday. This would give families and friends an opportunity to fish over the long weekend with excellent chances of catching some. In our area, Roses Lake near Manson at Lake Chelan was one of them. I had also heard that the trout fishing was very good at Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee. So, I ran up there the other morning to see for myself. The reports were accurate. Not only was the fishing very good, but the trout were larger than I expected. The smallest fish I caught was 13 inches. Scott West happened to be fishing from the dock when I arrived, and he showed me one on his stringer that was 17 inches long. He and his friend Joe were nice enough to share their bait with me, which was died shrimp, and the trout loved it. Put a weight on the end of your line and a bait hook or two above it and you’re in business. I will be posting a video of my experience on the Facebook page, so check it out and be sure to Follow me.
