What great news to hear that Lake Wenatchee is opening for sockeye. Better yet, with a four-fish limit! Everyone was watching the counts with high hopes that enough fish would make it up to the lake. Even though the updated forecast was well below the original one done this spring, there will be plenty of sockeye available for harvest. I know the WDFW monitors the catch at Lake Wenatchee closely and based on what they have learned about angler success, they are confident that there is no threat to closing the season early. I had a couple of not so great days on the lake last year, but they were very rare. I had to make some adjustments to maintain my good catches. I had to make some hook color changes and went to double dodgers when it got slow. I will be tying a variety of leaders to be ready for the tough days. Also, I wanted folks to know that there is road construction work going on in Tumwater Canyon, of course. So, I would plan on taking the road up through the Chumstick to avoid delays. Can’t wait. See you on the water!
