Post by: Sporting_Man on July 13, 2011, 05:51:29 PM: I am going to the Lake Chelan with my girls - I might get lucky to get a half day off from camping and doing nothing in the sun, get myself to Rufus Woods... will have my rod and gear for trout... I don't even know what to use. I have only salmon and steelhead gear.

Post by: shedcrazy on July 14, 2011, 06:44:03 AM: It's way to far to drive to use bait. You can only keep two, use lures, pinch the barb and catch a ton

Post by: singleshot12 on July 14, 2011, 07:37:00 AM: Nice!! I cooked one of them on the barby last year and it was so greasy it cuaght on fire :o

Does that lake get planted every year with 2 to 10 lbers? or do they just get that big after a year or two?

Most of the trout caught are from the net pens. There is a commercial trout operation on the reservation side of the river. Fish have been escaping for years and lately some fish have been released for sport fishing. This year all the fish in the pens were released because the heavy spills over the dam was killing the fish in the pens.
