Lake Chelan Smallmouth?
« on: June 14, 2011, 07:59:43 PM »
Howdy
It looks like I might be headed over to the Uncle's place on Lake Chelan in a week or two and yarding the Skeeter with me.  It has been a couple of years since I fished it and then I only had a few hours.  I was able to drop shot my way into a few fish under 12" but nothing bigger.  Does anyone have any good advise on bettering my catch ratio on that lake?  I'll be on the South side of the lake Between Sunnybank and the Minneapolis Beach area.  Thanks!

Check out the article in the June issue of Northwest Sportsman...and if your fishing that area of the lake (Sunnybank to Minneapolis Beach) you won't find too many fish, as there isn't the structure or shallow water on the south shore, and getting that far up in the lower basin...the deeper the water, the steeper the bank gets the further you get away from Chelan. Mill Bay holds fish (across the lake from you) as it is shallower, but as you start to head towards the Lucerne Basin (starts from a diagonal line from Wapato Point across to Sunnbank-Mack Island) the less bass you find...again, the June issue of Northwest Sportsman describes why, and how and where to catch the bass in Chelan...
