My wife and I had a great fishing trip out of Loreto BCS, Mexico recently. She had such a great time being out on the water that she wanted to go again as soon as possible. So, I brought the boat home from its winter storage and rigged it for kokanee fishing at Lake Chelan. She did remind me that we were in a phase of the moon that was pretty full, but off we went on Sunday. We launched at the State Park and ran up above the Yacht Club, where we found several boats trolling. I wasn’t marking any fish, and although we did hook a double, losing them both, we decided to try our luck in the lower Basin. I have found fish here this fall and early winter. I still wasn’t marking any fish near Rocky Point and even when I trolled over to the Blue Roofs I was looking at an empty screen the whole way. I trolled back over the Rocky Point area and finally a downrigger rod, set at 127 feet went off. It turned out to be a small laker. That was it for the day, which be both enjoyed in spite of the lack of action.
This small laker was the only fish landed when my wife and I fished Lake Chelan on Sunday. Great time, though.
