There are several options available to anglers in our area. Steelhead fishing has slowed down on the Methow and the main stem Columbia River, but there are some dandy fish being landed. I just had to share a photo of a terrific hatchery steelhead that my brother Rick got on a recent trip to Pateros on my Facebook page. You may not get big numbers of steelhead, but you might get a whopper like his. I also hear that there are good numbers of kokanee being landed on Lake Chelan. This is actually a good time of year to look for kokanee on the lake. Ever since anglers realized that kokanee can be caught in the winter, there are pretty fair numbers of them out there and they have pretty good success through the chilly months. I had a stellar day in January a few years ago. My fishing buddy and I landed two limits of fish that averaged 12 inches, and the highlight was landing all four fish when we hooked a quad. My next trip may be for perch on Moses Lake. The last batch was so tasty I want to get a bunch more in the freezer.
