One month to go! I need people to start firming up what they are bringing. If you're not able to come I need to know that as well so we can adjust how much main course food to purchase. So please go to the RSVP thread and post up if you haven't indicated an item to bring, or your plans have changed.

Here's another Sponsor gifts picture, this time Hevi Beads:

Here's a boat load of silver bullets my brother-in-law's brother and friend caught this weekend for the derby! They took 1st place in almost all categories and walked away with $1700 and a cooler full of kokanee's!

Tony, after 8 long years of tending to my mothers property it sold on the 11th of April. I have a new lease on life for spring & summer fishing without worries of irrigation problems. It had been weighing on me pretty hard. Oh, what a relief it is!!
What camp site are you in?

Barry, lures are making the trip with Mike. I'm not going.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

It might hit 80 in the sun, it hit 73 over there during the derby, and it is brutal. I went from white boy fresh to extra crispy in about 4 hours. But it was 38 degrees in the morning with just enough breeze to chew threw my sweatshirt.



Does anyone want to meet up this weekend on Lake Stevens and go over Lake Chelan Kokanee Tactics? I would be willing to put on a little mini seminar.
