Another great day on Lake Chelan..We targeted the Yacht Club first this morning and caught a few with 1 fish weighing in at over 8lbs. then we motored to Mack Bar and got into a good bite with the big fish close to 10lbs. We did hook a real Big laketrout today on the Bar but while fighting the fish it pulled off we thought..When we retrieved the lure to the boat we had a 20 inch, half digested Burbot hooked by the tail that we had pulled out of the Big Laketrout stomach that we had on...20 INCH Burbot! Was this Walter we had on? Makes you go HMMMMM... Joe's bait Rig and the Ace Hi-fly is what worked today..Thanks so much to my crew today..Tight Lines to All and Be Safe!

The bellies are in large part due to the expansion of their air bladder. They have it adjusted to 120 to 300 feet deep with lots of Gforces on it, and when you bring them to the surface they can't adjust and it blows up like a balloon.
