My brother Lane wanted to get a bunch of us together to go fishing while his daughter Sophie was home for Christmas break from school. We talked about several options, and I suggested that we go to Rufus Woods. I had made three trips to Rufus and had limited every time, except one. Last Thursday we left one short of our limits but had seven nice fish in the cooler. Lane his daughter Sophie, along with Ron and Trey Holiday met me in Wenatchee and we made the drive up to the middle net pens last Sunday. I wanted to get there early so we could get a good spot on the bank here, and was happy to see there was no one there, and just one boat had launched. People must have known something I didn’t about the fishing. Although we had one fish on the stringer 15 minutes after setting up our rods, it turned out to be the only fish we got. It was really cold, and the current wasn’t running, as hard as it was on previous trips. I will add to my excuses for my poor luck the full moon. Still, we had a great time.
