I put in just below Rocky Reach Dam at 16:00. I fished the Chelan Co. side. Upon starting there were only 3 other boats working it. By the time I called it quits at 20:00 there were 13 other boats all vying for the same spot. I only saw 2 other fish caught. I caught one and lost one. I was the only boat out there trying it solo. These are tricky waters with moving slow in heavy current & wind gusts pushing you around. (My TR-1 Gold auto pilot is Fools Gold. 1975 6HP Johnson with 3 foot extension!)
I was using a pink mini squid tipped with shrimp 18'' behind an 0 dodger. There are a lot of fish coming and it will only get better!
