Fishing Magician | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 5 months AGO
Fathers Day will be here before you know it, and I hope you have made plans. My brother Rick and I always sneak out in the morning with my Dad and often arrive late for the family gathering. We have fished at Moses Lake for walleye, Rufus Woods for triploid rainbow, Lake Chelan for kokanee, and even perch at a couple of lakes in the Columbia Basin. We haven’t decided where to go this year, but it is always a lot of fun for the three of us.
One thing that is coming up the day before Fathers Day is the annual Family Fishing Derby at Fish Lake, put on by the Icicle Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. You’ll want to be there by 5:30 for their famous breakfast that includes sausage, eggs, pancakes and a drink. The event starts at 5:30 and runs until 1:00 p.m. and there will be all kinds of prizes of course. The cost to enter is $10 for adults, $5 for kids age 15 and under and a family of four can sign up for just $20.00.
So don’t forget, Saturday, June 18th, be at the Cove Resort on Fish Lake for the annual Family Fishing Derby, sponsored by Trout Unlimited.

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.
