Title: Bass in lake Wenatchee?
Post by: Barbarossa13 on June 02, 2017, 08:36:09 PM: Hi folks-
We'll be camping at the state park in a few weekends and wanted to bring the bass rods. Never fished the lake before. I'll be pulling the trailer so no boat this trip. Or should I try Fish Lake instead? Is there decent bank fishing spots there? Thanks in advance!

Every time I tried fishing Wenatchee, the wind made it miserable, LOL
