Trout are pretty much hit and miss there anyway. We have a cabin on the lake and hardly fish it except for sockeye.
 It's a very short drive from the State Park to Fish, and fishing will be likely much better there anyway. Fish gets windy at times, but pontoons should work nicely.

Any tips  on launch points at Fish lake.

Thanks

There’s a little marina called the cove resort. They will have current fishing info also. I have done well trolling with pop gear and half a worm.

the guy at the resort sells wedding rings that he makes chased by a night crawler. That combo has always caught me a bunch of trout.

Well just got back ,day early. Got about 3 hrs fishing in, but didn’t get anything to the boat.

Rest the time it poured, first time I ever left the east side to get out of the rain.

We had a good time though, stopped at the 59er for lunch on the way out.

Another Frontier owner here, what is your trailer behind your truck?
I just got back home from ok a 3,500 mile road-trip from OKC up to and around Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas and light weight trailers are looking good right now.

It is a Escape Industries 15 B 2013 they stopped making them in 2015. It is one of 47 ever made.  They now make 17,19,21,and a 5.0 which is a 5 th wheel. They are custom made to your specs and the wait time 1 1/2-2 years. Factory direct only Chiliwack BC.

Mine weigh 1750 dry.

Better photo

I am the 3 rd owner . Very well built. Used market is the way to go.

This time of the year Lake Wenatchee is very cold thus the fish don't bite that well as they are lethargic. 59er has went down in quality since it burned in my opinion.

Your Frontier looks like our 05 Pathfinder. I assume its the same platform and engine. We love our Pathfinder. Very solid, good power, pulls our 16 foot boat like a champ. Despite having close to 220k miles it still feel new.

Thats a sweet trailer too.

Hey folks,  59er for sure has gone down, but not from the fire.  You want a better shake and meal, go next door to the squirrel tree.  Owners are really nice and food is much better as are the shakes.  My folks live near there and I quit going to the 59er years ago.
