In a previous report I mentioned that there is an all-time record return of sockeye salmon coming up the Columbia River this year, and that was good news for those enjoy fishing for them at Lake Wenatchee. A season on Lake Wenatchee for the third year in a row is very likely. We will have to wait until enough fish have crossed over Tumwater Dam for the announcement, but prospects are very high for a good, long season this year. Anglers are already reaping the benefits of this bumper crop of sockeye, though. Salmon anglers fishing below Wells Dam and off the mouth of the Okanogan River at Brewster are having a hard time keeping them off! One guide mentioned that he is even catching sockeye on his salmon rigs when fishing 30 feet deep. Those who are targeting the sockeye are having a blast catching their six-fish limits in less than two hours of fishing time. I am anxious to get in on this myself. I am busy getting some Fishing TV shows out of the way. Then I will be able to get out and fill the freezer with these prized sockeye!
