Fishing Magician Report - June 6th
Fishing Magician | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 6 months AGO
The free seminar at Town Ford is just a couple of days away, and I hope you have it marked as one of the things you’re going to do on Wednesday. The seminar will be held at Town Ford’s new location in East Wenatchee across from Costco and just up the hill from Town Toyota. The featured speakers will be picking up the microphone at 6 p.m. First up will be Lou Nevismal from Coulee Playland in Coulee City. He will be talking about the planned draw down of Banks Lake late this summer and how it will impact the fishing on Banks, Lake Roosevelt and Rufus Woods Reservoir. Anglers will want to pick Lou’s brain on the walleye and bass fishing Banks while he’s there, and also find out some details on the kokanee fishing at Lake Roosevelt. Shane Magnuson, Upper Columbia Guide Service, is back, and this time he will be talking about the spring salmon fishing on the Icicle River, and I also have him sharing his techniques on summer-run salmon fishing on the upper Columbia. Don’t miss this one. You’ll be able to plan your whole summer around what these speakers have to offer.

Fishing Magician - New and exciting fisheries
There are a couple of new and very exciting fisheries pending here in Central Washington. Starting as early as August 1st, there could be an opening of fishing for triploid rainbow trout above Brewster. As most anglers know, there was a huge release of triploids from the net pens on Rufus Woods Reservoir, and combined with the spill of water over Chief Joseph Dam a significant number of them are showing up in the Columbia below Bridgeport.
Fishing Magician Report - June 22nd
I've made a couple more trips up to Rufus Woods and have had good fishing both times. Not the red hot fishing I had at the net pens on my first trip, but my fishing buddies and I came home with a cooler so heavy it was hard to lift.
Fishing Magician: Big summer runs
Summer run salmon are pouring up the Columbia River, and although heavy flows continue to hamper angler's efforts, there are both Chinook and sockeye being caught. Many are still making it to the big eddy below Wanapum Dam, their destination, but fishing in the Wenatchee area is very much worth a try.
