I had so much fun with Brad Hawkins and his son Luke fishing for sockeye on Lake Wenatchee earlier this summer, I promised to take them out again. My idea was a two phase fishing experience. We started off by launching the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft at the middle net pens on the Colville Reservation. With the Mercury 250 it took about ten minutes to reach the spot I like to fish at the upper net pens. I put the Minn Kota in Spot Lock, and we dropped our baits to the bottom. I was concerned that the lack of current was going to be a problem. Typically, when the current is low so is the bite, and I didn’t see as many fish on the Garmin as I usually do. However, Luke hooked and landed a nice triploid. He said this was the biggest trout he had ever caught, so the trip was a success at that point. The fishing was very slow, but his Dad Brad got two more that were even bigger. I had them pull their gear. We didn’t have our limits, but I wanted to get to Banks Lake to go bass fishing.
