Fishing Magician Report - June 8th
Fishing Magician | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 6 months AGO
Tis the season for kids fishing days. I have already had three from Moses Lake to Rock Island to the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery, but there are three more coming up this weekend. You probably still have time to register for the one in Moses Lake. Get in touch with the Parks and Recreation Department there by logging onto mlrec.com and you’ll find a registration page under June events. Entiat is holding their event at the brand new fishing pond at the hatchery in Ardenvoir, just up the valley from the town of Entiat. The event is scheduled from 9 till 1 and you can call the hatchery at 784-1131 for details.
Also hosting a kids fishing event is the National Fish Hatchery in Winthrop. This one will take place from 10 till 2, and you can call the hatchery at 996-2424. There are still more events for kids planned for later this summer, and I will try to keep you up to date. A very popular, but small, event is one at the Acclimation Pond on Blackbird Island in Leavenworth. It should happen in late July or early August.

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.
