Whoops too quick on the trigger. We will be arriving Friday afternoon and leaving after checkout on Monday morning. Plan to fish Friday evening(I can dream can't I), Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning.

Rseas let me know if you want me to bring anything. Food type stuff, Paper plates, cups, the like? The details of our arrival and deptature time/days have yet to be worked out. All i know is i wanna catch fish, lots of um. Do you guys enjoy (in moderation) the occasinal oat soda or wobblie pop while camping?



THIS JUST IN- we will be leaving this side friday night and arriving there i dont know when yet but probably late, and staying to hit the morning bite on sunday. :cheers: Im mildly excited for this to say the least

OK, I tried typing this on my phone with no luck so hopefully this will work this time.

I am in the planning phase for the upcoming Chelan Beerfest, oh I mean camping trip/fish slaughter. As previously mentioned I will provide dinner on Saturday Evening and a late breakfast on Sunday morning/early afternoon (I plan to fish early Sunday Morning). I need to know how many mouths I will be feeding for the previously mentioned meals. Mike are you able to set up a poll for this thread? Also in an ongoing effort to not poison or otherwise disable my fellow campers does anyone have any food allergies or major dislikes? I have a tentative menu plan put together but haven't started shopping yet so now is the time to speak up. Even if we don't catch anything the Chelan weekend should be a major blast and we are looking forward to meeting everyone.

Ouch! It doesn't get any closer to Wenatchee than this. But, it's Apple Blossom Festival and I'm helping host a BBQ at work on Friday prior to the Classy Chasis Parade. My niece is" Miss Chelan". If I skipped out of Wenatchee on Saturday while she was here in our Grand parade and I was fishin' in Chelan.....Ouch. Sunday I'm working on a pump up in Okanogan! I'll try to slip in to say howdy Saturday night.

Sure I am but I will just have to live through all of your reports...
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Ready? You could put it that way. Doing the shopping for Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch tomorrow or Thursday afternoon. All the gear and tackle is ready but I haven't dug the camping gear out of the garage yet. Need to shoot for a grand slam; kokanee, lake trout and chinook!

Rseas, can we do a late dinner? We'd like to do some evening fishing Saturday since we won't get to fish in the AM. Yes, we are excited too! It will be fun to have a group get together.
