We're prepared. We have an extra large sun umbrella that pretty much covers the whole back of the boat beyond the canvas, and battery powered fan for JoAnn.

I've fished a lot over on that side of the mountains and am always prepared for any kind of weather~ and it could be all in one day! From calm cool mornings, to warmer afternoons, to sudden thunder and lightning, wind and rain, and back to a beautiful sunset! So be prepared for anything no matter what the weather man predicts!

Just published this kokanee article from Lance Merz of Mack's Lures:

For those of you unfamiliar with Lake Chelan Kokanee fishing, a book about Lake Chelan Kokanee fishing can be located at Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee. There is a plethora of information in this book written by Rick Graybill.

It can also be ordered on line and shipped in a few days to your home!

A crude map along with an evaluation of the lake from 1987, can be found using the link below.

Hi Everyone,

Our event is getting close, I'm packing my truck and checking my list twice...

The day's Schedule is as follows:

6am - I'll be at the Mill Bay boat launch in Manson, meeting members as they launch boats. I also plan on taking some video footage with sponsors throughout the day, so if an opportunity presents I may point a camera in your direction.

People will spend the day fishing and then enjoy what Chelan has to offer in the afternoon.

4:30 - Everyone will gather at the Tent Site section of Lakeshore RV Park, Site G and H. You'll see tables set up and our sign as well. Dinner will be served 4:45.

5:15 - I'll introduce our Sponsors and they'll talk about their products for kokanee fishing, say around a 5 minute presentation each.

5:45 - We'll hand out the Sponsor gifts to our members.

5:55 - Free Raffle

The weather is going to be great. I'm looking forward to a fun event. Thank you all for joining us at our Get Together

The pot luck has been moved next door to shelter #3. Look for the balloons.

[Amx]

Are they fish shaped balloons?

[Mike Carey]

Maybe...

I wasn't able to get out on the lake today. Was told by several that did that the koke fishing was real slow. Most of the folks that I chatted with had put one or two in their boats. Lots of wind and heavy chop on the lake. The high light of my day was meeting several wa lake members at the pot luck dinner. We had lots of food fun and friendly conversation and then at the end of the evening the goodies came out. A very big thank you goes out to Mike, Aaron and all of the sponsors that gave of their valuable time and the "Easter baskets" from Macs lures. Myself and my daughter had a great time. Thanks again.

Big D, it was great to meet you as well as so many others. It was a fabulous potluck. My only regret is not having done a better job of getting to meet more of those present. Hats off to all involved. Thank you!
