Contemplating Fish Lake


My very recent (addictive) fishing frenzy caused me to realize that I haven’t been to Fish Lake yet this year. What’s the big deal with Fish Lake?

Just two simple things: I always catch fish there, and, when there, you have as good a chance as anywhere to catch a larger than average trout.

Fish Lake is located about 90 miles east of Everett off Hwy 2, in Chelan County near the metropolis of Plain. Rainbow trout and Brown trout reside there in all sizes and in decent numbers.

However, catching the wiser, older finned creatures is another thing. There are reasons why they’ve survived more than one season.

So far this week the weather has precluded a day trip to the piscatorial paradise. It’s been rainy, windy and cool, and that makes catching difficult.

A quick internet check indicates that it’ll improve a bit on Thursday with some sun breaking through on Friday. If the barometer starts rising on Thursday, that might be just fine.

I need a Fish Lake “fix”.

Responsibilities and visits to family have resulted in the extended contemplation. Hope floats.
