Last year Rob Phillips, outdoor writer for the Yakima Herald-Republic, came up to Lake Wenatchee to fish with me. He had such a good time that when I invited him up again he was eager to make the trip. Last season the fishing was terrific on the day he was here, and I was a bit nervous that I would be able to repeat such quick limits for us. It was a bit windy when we got to the lake, but nothing like some other mornings that I fished Lake Wenatchee this season. I moved up the lake a ways, put the gear out, and trolled toward the top end. I sweated as each minute passed without strike, but soon the bite came on. When it did we were busy. We got fish on the downriggers that had either three black-hook rigs or red hooks behind double dodgers. I had black and red hooks out the back on eight ounce lead balls, and these rods were bouncing, too. We ended the morning with a double and had to release one fish. I checked my watch, and it did take me 20 minutes longer than last year to get out limits.
