I got a chance to sneak up to Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee, the other day and found the fishing for trout to be hot, hot, hot. My fishing buddy and I just trolled flies and caught 23 fat rainbow in just a few hours. I just put the Minn Kota down and put it on auto pilot and then used my co-pilot to make some “S” turns. The fish were all near the top layer of the water column. We didn’t tangle with any of the triploids but there are some being caught I hear. Speaking of Fish Lake, the 11th Annual Family Fishing Derby is coming up here on May 31st. It is put on by the Icicle Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Cove Resort. The money raised will go to scholarships for seniors at Cascade High School. The derby starts at 6 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. There will be breakfast and lunch available and a ton of prizes, all provided by local merchants. This is a really fun derby and I’m sure lots of fish will be caught. To learn more about the derby contact the Cove Resort at 509-763-3130 or Bob Stroup at 509-548-7662.
