We have been catching fish pretty consistently at the bottom "rim" of the lower basin and on "Mac Bar". Depths of 120' to 180' have been most productive. Joe Heinlen put his client on this fish Thursday, August 26th. It was a true giant for Lake Chelan.


The big fish was 41inches in length and 30 1/4 in. girth and weighed 29lbs 31/4 oz...The boy that caught this monster is Charlie Brennan 10 yrs.old.. The fish was caught on a U-20 chartreuse Flatfish at around 8:00 am.. It took 28 minutes from the time that the fish hit to time we netted it..Then it sounded like a pack of coyotes were in my boat...Very exciting trip...Ended the trip with eleven fish...Joe Heinlen Guide
