WDFW Officials are meeting tomorrow (June 21st) to determine if there will be a sockeye fishery at Lake Wenatchee this year.

Two local biologists have given conflicting views on whether or not this will occur in press interviews.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best - especially since I already booked a campsite at Lake Wenatchee for the family for this Sunday two months ago!

heres you answer

Also opening at sunrise July 24, is the first Lake Wenatchee sockeye salmon season since 2001. That fishery will continue until further notice, depending on catch rates. Barbless hooks are required, non-buoyant lure restrictions and night closure are in effect and the daily catch limit is two sockeye. Sockeye marked with yellow tags (less than 1 percent of the overall run) must be released, and all bull trout must be released without removing them from the water. See the northcentral regional report, below, for more information.

OK, now I have to figure out how to hit this fishery. Just like L Wash, same techniques and just hot. If you can make it, go! BTW, there is an article on the web site from the trip we took in 2001. Check it out under the Lake Wenatchee section.

Question? If non buyont regs are in effect does that mean you can't use a single barbless like in lake washington? havn't looked at the reg's just going off the other posts, Doug

Non Bouyant regs mean you cannot have a trebble on a lure that sinks IE a spinner .

Hmmm. somewhere to go on sunday after lake wa
