When I checked on Roses Lake the other day, I also drove the shore of Dry Lake, which is pretty much next door to Roses. When I lived in Chelan I fished Dry Lake often, and for years after I moved away. The lake is loaded with spiny rays, including bluegill, crappie and largemouth bass. I have spent many hours cruising its shoreline casting from a small boat and catching scads of these fish. I have often wondered why people don’t fish here when it is frozen over. It is a very shallow lake and should form a good thickness of ice sooner than neighboring Rose Lake. Maybe it’s because all there was in here was spiny rays. Well, that’s changed. Last year Dry Lake was stocked with 1,000 brown trout and 1,000 tiger trout. I think this has been going on for a few years now. There is a public access at the east end of the lake. It’s not very big and the parking area is small. I think there is another small parking area across the lake, and a place I used to use to launch a boat. Maybe there is some opportunity for ice fishers at Dry Lake.
