My wife Eileen and I took advantage of a nice sunny day last Wednesday, and towed the Smokercraft to Lake Chelan. When we arrived at the State Park there was no other boat in the parking lot. We looked up lake and there was no other boat in sight. We had the whole lake to ourselves! It was flat calm, too. We ran up lake to just above the Yacht Club and I put out the gear. It took us a while to find any fish on the depth sounder, but when we did it was game on. We would hook two at a time, and sometimes I couldn’t get the second rod out before the first rod went off. At first the kokanee we were getting were just dinks, of 9 or 10 inches. When we got into the really big schools the fish were 12 and 13 inches. I was fishing the new Kokabow Fishing Tackle hoochie style spinners and bright blades. I found a 14-inch leader worked the best and a little slower trolling speed than the last time I was there. A speed of 1.5 mph seemed to be best. We didn’t put the boat in the water until noon and quit just before 3. We had caught 14 kokanee by then. It would be easy to get limits of kokanee on Lake Chelan right now.
