I have found the best way to find out about what’s happening on a particular lake is to go there myself. Roses, near Manson at Lake Chelan, is a lake people ask me about frequently, as it is an early season favorite in our region. It’s open year-round and gets a large plant of catchable size rainbow each fall. There were several people fishing from shore when I arrived on Sunday, and two boats trolling on the flat calm water. There was an angler on the dock just packing up to leave so I ran down and got a quick photo of his fish. Eddie Garcia had a trout of 12 to 13 inches, which should be quite common this spring on Roses. As I was leaving I noticed a young angler at one of the shore accesses that was struggling to hold onto a fish. Young Norman Colter was hugging a trout to his chest and was very excited. Dad Derick showed me a stringer with a several more. He said they were about to head home to put the fish on the grill for lunch. It looks like another good spring for trout fishers at Roses Lake.
