Took Jim Chadwick of Issaquah and his buddy out. We snicked a fish off the Bar and kept moving. The indeterminate flat between the Bar and the Trench was the best of it for me today. Most fish came...

Pounding the lower end of Lake Chelan with the U20 luminous chartreuse flatfish was once again productive. Keep speeds between 1.4 and 1.6 mph and stay tight to the bottom. What a wonderfully consis...

Fooled around trying to catch Kokanee without success. Went to find lakers off the face of Manson Bay. That went OK. Look in water from 160 to 190 feet deep. It's a steep slope. It's nice to be b...
