Nothing wrong with Fish Lake or Lake Wenatchee though.

Big dollies in Lake Wenatchee, but you cant keep any. Fish lake for your planters and some big ones, good perch to. Sounds fun, good luck.

I haven't fished it in a long time because I treasure the memories of my dad and great grandparents and great uncles. Let us know how the fishing turns out. Maybe I'll go back up there to remissness.
