Lake Chelan remains on fire in the Lower Basin for Laketrout..I trolled the Ace Hi-fly in green glow spatterback to produce..Today I tried above the Yacht Club to find the big fish of the week which tipped the scale right at 14lbs..Tip of the week is to vary your speed making the bait look wounded or crippled. Feel free to contact me with questions or comments and I will try my best to not confuse you to much..Thanks to the Dave Leaming and family for fishing with me this weekend.

Joe. I graduated from Manson way back in 86'. It's awesome to see the Lake trout fishery produce as well as it does. I was curious to know how important mysis shrimp location is when trolling for Macks? Do you check the stomachs of the fish kept and do you ever find any Kokanee smolts in them? Have you ever tried rainbow trout patterned swim baits when jigging for lake trout? If so, what do the Mackinaw that you have caught in Lake Chelan seem to be feeding on the most? The Jigmiester

Mysis Shrimp is 90% there diet, but we find all kinds of critters in the stomachs even found a golf ball but have not been able to modify the ball into a lure yet:)
