So I finally had a chance to go to Omak Lake and do some Lohatan Cutthroat fishing with the family.
I cannot believe that I waited so long to do this fishery, because let me tell you It was awesome. We got there Saturday at about 11:30 am and fished till 3:30pm landing 16 dandy fish. Did it again on Sunday morning (Today) after breakfast, we fished from 9:00am to 11:30 am and the action never slowed down. We landed 24 fish and could have landed many more but we had to be on our way home. All fish hit on spoons. Needlefish on 3" and Kingfisher lite spoons in the 4" variation. The Kingfisher "Red Racer" got the biggest fish today at around 7lbs. We fished the east side of the lake on Saturday and the south side on Sunday. The fish were pretty much everywhere. Go to depths were from 10-40 ft on the Downriggers and I tried not to go in deeper water than 120ft. We found a couple of bays where the water was only 30ft deep and the fishing was HOT. I strongly recommend this lake to anyone that loves to catch fish but not necessarily keep them. It's a blue ribbon fishery for a reason. So much fun for my sons and wife. It was great

My favorite place off of Chelan. I love the color variations those fish exhibit. Way to go!

Nice report! Ever since finding out about those Lahontan Cutts I have been eager to get over to Omak or Grimes and catch a few. Looks like you had a great trip of C&R!

Thanks for the great report. Don't hear much about this lake. I go there at least once a year, this year I went to early at the end of march. Last year I went the first week of April and did great. This year they were not cruising the shoreline yet. This lake is a great fishery, you can catch right from the bank with spinners and lures. 18" to 36".

Go by that lake all the time, but never fished it. May have to change that this year. Nice fish, and great report.
