What a difference a day makes. There was a slight weather change on Lake Wenatchee, and it was just enough to put the sockeye off the bite. I chugged out from the dock on the Mercury 250 on the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft until I hit 150 feet of water, as usual, and then deployed the Minn Kota and pointed the boat to the top end of the lake. Once again, we had a fish in the boat by just after five, but it was slow going after that. We got a few more, including one that may be the biggest sockeye I have ever landed on Lake Wenatchee. Black hooks were the answer on the opener, but red hooks worked the best on the second day. We were watching the other boats closely and saw very few nets out in this area, so we pushed further down the lake. When we reached the area off Crescent Bay the wind picked up to a very stiff breeze. There were some fish being caught down here, and we added to our catch, but bites were few and far between. We got fish as deep as 100 feet!
