Looks like the boat count on the water doubled from yesterday.

Well lets hear some reports folks

Should be pretty good! I'm stuck at work until after this weekends rain...

Elkrunner · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2016, 10:52:17 AM »

Whats the limit? Im trying to look it up

C-Money · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2016, 11:37:34 AM »

Only 3 Sockeye this year...

buddy01 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 07, 2016, 12:22:13 PM »

Plus 2 kings

I don't want to rain on your parade but the Okanogan river is cool enough that they are shooting right up and the forecast is for cold temps.

That said our friend went on the opener and 2 people caught 3 sockeye and he said the fish checker reported a few fishermen had limits.

C-Money · « **Reply #8 on:** July 08, 2016, 02:27:05 PM »

Right, it rained steady and at good pace last night. Trying to figure out if I should wait a week, or take a trip this weekend...

Birdguy · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2016, 05:48:17 PM »

I hope there are some fish being caught. When we drove by this mornig there must have been close to 100 boats on the water. There was probably 30 or more just below the Bebe Bridge.
My luck has always been a freak cool rain the day before I come over to fish, today we are just doing summer fire preps around the cabin. Good luck to all who get out. I think I will try a bit later in the month (if I can get back over here

).

Got on the water at 430 this morning and fished until 10am. Didn't get a single bite and out 100+ boats only saw 2 fish netted and they were kings..... guessing the rain took all the fish up river. Going back out tonight and tomorrow morning but looks like more rain is possible.

After last year, the fish could use a break on water temps.

Buddies down there this am limited out in a hour in the pool

C-Money · « **Reply #13 on:** July 11, 2016, 06:28:33 AM »

I did not go...looking at Thursday. Hope to squeeze in two trips this 4 day. Second trip will be decided on after Thursday.

bearmanric · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2016, 09:38:03 AM »

Thinking of going in a couple days. Trying to look up to day the king rigs. Bought a bunch of gear down at bobs woblers and sockeye gear. Conquered the Kokes at Roosevelt two weeks ago learned a lot on using the own rigger. Rick

I want to hit the river myself but Im a bit nervous never fishing the river and still getting used to the boat. Sounds like they have been doing well below rocky reach as well.

bearmanric · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2016, 11:34:55 AM »

Nervous here too new boat did great at spring canyon for Kokes. Debating on the lower Columbia to. Doing research on brewster. Rick

Took mine there as well. That was awesome. I think I would be a bit more comfy if I get a new finder with GPS and Navonics.

bearmanric · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2016, 12:49:00 PM »

Looks smaller with top on 16.10 long. Just me have a better depth finder. Rick

below wells and Chelan falls has been good for kings... most guys are running pro troll 11" flashers with Brads super baits (cut plug) packed with tuna and trolled.

mfswallace · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2016, 12:23:07 AM »

4 sok in 5hrs between 30 boats

meanwhile the natives netted a few hundred

C-Money · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2016, 06:38:02 AM »

Dang...that's slow...maybe a walleye trip this weekend would be a better option until we get some summer heat!! Still fish coming...gotta get some heat!

724wd · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2016, 03:38:56 PM »

my BIL got two of the two of the four fish caught monday. says it was only about a half hour bite. SLOOOOOW

I agree with huntnnw...here is a recent article/blog on the Chelan Falls Chinook fishery:

Hoping for an update today on how the bite is going...tore between Banks walleye and going for sockeye.

Okano-gun · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2016, 02:31:58 PM »

I would go to Banks. Three of us fished Brewster for 8 hours, had six take-downs and only landed 3 sockeye. Saw two Chinook released ......very slow ! About 50+ boats on the water...need some July heat.

I was thinking about a run as well but think I will go antagonize the Wally's and Northerns around Kettle.

wa_archer · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2016, 08:10:40 PM »

Saturday was the same checker only reported one King and there was only a handful of sockeye with. 100 ish boats out. Nighttime temp low keeping okanogan cool fish racing right through

saw a guide had 6 hatchery Chinooks today in the pool, and 2 other guides had 9 and 12 sockeye limits today

Chase2008 · « **Reply #30 on:** July 16, 2016, 09:41:30 PM »

Heading over Monday with a guide for the day. Any reports? Should we focus on Kings or sockeye?

Went for 5 days, 5 fish pretty S>>L>>O>>W! Some days no bites.

huntnnw · « **Reply #34 on:** July 17, 2016, 11:49:14 PM »

gotta move... below wells the last 4 days most are limiting on sockeye.. Kings are another story lots of fish, but very very slow

C-Money · « **Reply #35 on:** July 18, 2016, 09:10:17 AM »

I took my father in law to fish Brewster Saturday. Hurts the pride a little to say we did not limit, only put 3 in the cooler. All were just over 3lbs on the scale. Lost quite a few fish behind the boat, far more than enough to limit. Some days sockeye fishing can be so frustrating and so much fun at the same time. No king encounters this day. Great time on the water. Father in-law got his first two salmon. After all the years of being married to his daughter, a salmon trip for the two of us was a little over due...

cavemann · « **Reply #36 on:** July 18, 2016, 09:55:49 AM »

How long does the run last on that side?? I'm going to be in Chelan Aug 1-5. Will it still be open and worth fishing? I'll have the family over there and was just planning on early morning lakers until the kids where ready to hit the water to tube/ski.. A few hours for Sockeye would be a bonus..

Should be enough for some decent fishing as long as things warm up...still fish coming. Gonna be thin if we keep getting cool temps and rain.

Lake Wenatchee opens Wednesday for 6 sockeye

I fished that lake once...was pretty good. The 3 hour wait at the launch getting on the water, and the hour wait getting off the water kinda cured me from going back. I guess if I ever go back, I'll try and launch around midnight and just hang out on the boat in the dark till daylight.
