Title: Antilon near Chelan
Post by: ctwiggs1 on June 26, 2019, 09:53:20 PM: You guys ever fish this lake? We will be camping there in a few weeks. I think I’ll likely bring the little aluminum pond boat with a troller, any other recommendations?

Check out Wapato or Roses Lake for fishing too down lower towards Manson.

Sounds about right. I've done well there casting from shore for the browns with small bright spoons and spinners.

Post by: LastLookTaxidermy on July 03, 2019, 04:28:54 PM: Antilon is one of my husband and my favorite lakes. If you can find them, pick up a few Tasmanian devil's. You can troll them fairly slow and they put out a good wiggle. You'll lose count of the amount of browns youll catch with those. If you got kids the browns and pumpkin seeds also readily bite a worm under a bobber. The launch is a bit rough, we always just bring a little aluminum 12fter that we can carry down to the water. The camping sites are rough and usually stacked with trash, and there's almost always some target practice going on.
