Fishing News 2008
Currently Lake Chelan is a great jig fishery for Mackinaw and Burbot the end of The Year.
Lake Chelan has set the standard for Mackinaw in the state, having produced two state records that
were caught by our clients. The most recent record was landed by John Hossack of Remond on
December 31rst, 2001, and weighed 35 pounds and 7 ounces. Mackinaw feed on mysis shrimp which
migrate at 100 hundred feet per hour downward. Jigging with a thicker line and appropriate equipment
will get your bait down to where the mack's and Ling's are feeding at a depth of 100 to 300 ft. Also bait
should be chosen specifically for the type of fish your targeting. Herring, Pike Mino, and suckers will
attract mack's, while bloody baits such as chicken livers and nightcrawlers will attract Burbots. Whether
you're trying to catch a trophy mackinaw or looking forward to a meal of the great tasting Burbot, now is
the perfect time for fishing on Lake Chelan.
In August of 2001, Terry's client Lyle R. Smith of Tacoma,
WA landed a state record Mackinaw (Lake) Trout.
The fish weighed 33.65 pounds, and measured 41.75 inches long with a 25.5 inch girth. It was caught on
a #2 Les Davis Dodger double glow dark lime green hoochie with a trailer hook tipped with Mister Twister
Next Generation Extrude "Rocket Red Roe". The previous record was set in 1999, and prior to that 1966
Then on December 31st, 2001, client John Hossack of Redmond,
WA landed the newest state record Mackinaw which weighed in at 35.7 pounds and measured 40 inches
long with a 30.25 inch girth. The fish was caught with a 5" pearl white Mister Twister Exude grub tipped
with herring at a depth of 205 feet. Check out the write up in the Seattle Times by Mark Yuasa. For more

Here it is the year 2007, another great year of salmon fishing has begun,
We have already boated several nice fish in the 20/25-pound range. We hope to get our yearly average of 40
pound annually. My clients have been happy with their catch, which varies day by day. The weather has been
hot and the fishing too.
