Lake Chelan winter shootout.

Any one on here fishing the kokanee derby on Chelan tomorrow?

We are, got here about noon on Wed, managed to get 18 of 30 fish limit, then pulled all 3 limits yesterday. 
Pretty windy out here now, got 11 in the boat by 8:30, now it's been tough with the wind, looking for calmer waters......lol

Have fun Pete. Supposed to be a windy sucker today but calming down this evening.

Yes, very windy. 3-4ft swells up around 25 mile.

How’s the size looking this year? Seems like they run in cycles up there...

So far 10-11" average, with a few in the 13" range.
They will get bigger as the season goes on.

Derby is done,  we took 10th place out of 54 teams, $150 ain't bad for 10th place, it paid for dinner,  drinks, and fuel for the boat.

We struggled,  picked up the first 10 by 8 am, another 2 by 9 and then, a ghost town. Not a bite for 3 hours.  We moved to another area, picked up our last fish needed for a 2 man limit at 1:29, then raced back to the dock to beat the 2pm weigh in deadline, made it with 8 min to spare.....lol.

Didn't take any pic of the fish, just the beautiful scenery.

That's awesome! I've gotta drag the boat over there someday, I keep hearing about it, but haven't made it over.
