Lake Chelan Kokanee Get Together May 3-4, 2014

[Steelheadin360]

Strider43, I have been working with one of my buddies to try and mimic a small shrimp, and create a lure that works very well in mysis shrimp lakes and has been working well for me in lakes that don't have a shrimp population. We think we finally have it down this year and chelan will be the big test.

what does a Mysis Shrimp lure look like?

I wonder how those taste boiled up with a little creole seasoning?

360, I have a few new tricks to test out also. One should be a major kokanee killer. I'll share after the appropriate field testing and tweaking is complete.

Here is another good link from last year to check out as well. Just talked to a fellow at Gregs custom rod in lake stevens that used this same set up last year as well.

Not Lake Chelan but another rigging. This is back in his younger days

I'm planning on coming down Friday night and fishing with Darryl and sons Saturday morning, attending the potluck Saturday afternoon and returning Saturday evening.
What can I bring to the potluck, and since I wont be camping, does anyone have a recommendation as to a place to stay.

Cheers

Is The Fisherman's Hideaway available? That's Anton Jones place. Couldn't be more convenient.

I need to start getting people to sign up for potluck items. I can tell you we'll be providing the main course and plates/utensils/glasses, so people can bring things like salads, fruit, chips, beverages (no alcohol), deserts.

Just tell what you want to bring and I'll add it to the RSVP list.

I will also be over there starting Monday so I might be able to throw some of Chelan's finest on the bbq.
