Awesome day on the water, Again..
Had another day off, so after morning coffee Cindy and I hooked up the boat and headed over to Wapato to enjoy a sunny day on the water. utilized Jigs with Plastic B...
Howdy fellow fishermen and fisherwomen.
Went up to Wapato lake Sat. morning early with my stepdad Jim and boy the Crappie were crazy. We launched at about 6:00am with partly cloudy ski...

Finished up an “around the house” project, and decided to go fishing. As I had caught crappie at Roses last week, I thought to hit Wapato today and switch over to Roses if the action was slo...
I had to go into Manson on Thursday morning, so I put in the fishing rod and my bobber box with some jigs to try a few casts at a couple of the local lakes. On the way home from Manson I stopped off a...
One fish limit for Chinook on Wapato, so even poor fishing is a total success. Boated a 25" Chinook out in the middle of the lake out from the State Park, downrigger at 200 feet in 350 feet of water....
Decided to scout out the panfishing in Wapato after finishing a morning project. Launched around 12:30ish and started around the southeast side. Water temp was 82* and the sun was HOT. No one else cr...
Got a late start on Wapato in afternoon just before thunderstorm blew in. Weather was around 100 degrees. Tried spinner baits and smoke plastic. Once I switched to new 3"grub motor oil by West Co...
Fished Wapato opening day. Not nearly as crowded as last year. First fish to the boat in approximately 12 seconds after push-off. My son and I caught and released 37 rainbows, most of good size, inclu...
We fished Lake Wapato and the surrounding little lakes for three days. I like fishing Lake Wapato the second week of the season, early May, because of the hot weather encountered this time of the year...
Wanted to fish a small lake deep enough to catch trout in mid summer. Wapato fits the bill. Managed to get out in a small boat twice and limited with nice trout both times. Ten to twelve inches. The w...
Been fishing here every year with quite good luck. I've limited every year that I've gone. Just using power bait from a boat a hundred yards from the launch. I also used a salmon egg and marshmallow ...
well i showed up to this lake the second day it was open and it was a little slower then i expected. i still limited but it took a good 6 solid hours of trolling my pop gear with a wedding ring aroun...
It was another beautiful opening day on Wapato lake, sunny and calm. It was quiet early; I don't think there were as many boats as previous years. My son and I pushed off at 5:15. We had nine good siz...
I am hearing rumors from sources that live in the area that a new state record largemouth bass was caught out of Wapato last week, supposedly 13 lbs, 3 oz, can anyone confirm?
Our long awaited 4 day weekend finally came. The boys and I hit the road and arrived Friday afternoon. In the evening we did a once around the lake. The north end has a lot of algae growth in the w...
We arrived at the lake about 9:30 and began trolling right from the
boat launch. We were using leaded line with a black fly behind. The fishing was steady with most from 12-16 inches. We were ba...
Fished Wapato for the first time. Had released more than 10 fish while trolling before reaching the other end of the lake opposite from the launch. Only caught one triploid in our limit. Wind did pick...
A breezy but warm opening day on Wapato Lake. My son and I pushed off at 0530, were surprised at how few anglers were on the lake early. Folks didn't seem to get up and get going until 0730 to 0800. W...
We got there around 8:00 am and caught a couple of trout within the hour. We then decided to check out the area by the resort where we had seen other boats catching something! We had an awesome time c...
fishing off shore is almost impossible and the boats they have for rent only have trolling motors small ones.So i didn't get to fish there,cause it was a little windy and they told me i might not make...
Visited Wapato for the first time while in Chelan. Heard it was great crappie lake, so I tried my ol' trusty bobber with jig tipped with worm. Managed to catch everything but crappie, including severa...
