My good friend Brian Anantatmula called saying he was up for a quick trip to Lake Chelan, so I hooked up the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft and launched it Mill Bay. While he set up the rods and Scotty riggers, I motored down the lake to an area below Rocky Point that we both like to try for kokanee. I was watching the screen on the Garmin, hoping to see it light up with schools of kokanee, but it only showed a scattered few of them. After some loops through here, we joined a fleet of boats that were trolling across from Lakeside Park. Although we had landed a couple of kokanee, we really hadn’t found good numbers of them. I moved the boat into 50 feet of water above Lakeside and although we got a couple of cutthroat, we managed to put a few more kokanee in the cooler. One of the cutthroat was maybe the biggest one we have landed on Chelan. Once again, we found that pink colors, in Kokabow blades and spinners were working the best. The kokanee we caught were getting a little bigger than earlier this season, averaging between 10 and 11 inches.
