Title: Lake Chelan Kokanee Guide
Post by: deadyote on December 13, 2023, 11:56:58 AM: Folks -
My father has been wanting to try kokanee fishing on Lake Chelan for a couple years and just hasn't made it happen. I'd like to buy him and I a guided fishing trip for Christmas. Does anyone have any experience with one of the guides on the lake and/or have any recommendations? they all seem to have pretty good reviews, but would love to hear some of your reviews. Thanks folks

You'll have a ball with either of them (and they would tell you the same thing about each other). Sadly, Sam Baird is no longer with us. He would have been right there with these guys.
