Good Luck :tup:

Doing a low country boil while camping is the best.

I did not know that. My FIL lives on the West side. Next time I go over I'll bring a trap :tup:

Fish Lake is very close by, and you can rent an aluminum boat or pontoon at the Cove Resort. Also pretty good fishing right on the dock there. We fished it Sunday. There's a die off of the perch going on right now, apparently due to the increase in lake temp - stinks to see all the dead perch, but certainly makes for some good eagle watching. Saw nine eagles circling at one end of the lake alone.

I have the best luck at the East end where the river runs into the lake.

Are you talking about the east end by the park where the Wenatchee flows out? We threw a couple pots in there last year, but got nothing. Maybe we need to revisit that plan. There's beer and endless admiration (or admiration and endless beer) for anyone that schools me on Lake Wenatchee crayfish!
