I fished Lake Chelan for the first time on Saturday the 31st. My friend and I landed 4 Mackinaw in the 2-5 pound range. We were fishing about a 1/2 mile down lake from Wapato point on the south shore. Caught all the fish in about 185-195 feet of water. Three of them hit on mini hoochies behind Mini Hotspots and one on a hearing fished with an anchovy special helmet behind a Mini Hotspot. All the rigs were tied exactly as described in Rick Graybill's guide to Lake Chelan. I have to say that is the most comprehensive "tell all" guide to fishing I have ever read. I hope the Chinook fishing picks up soon, I can't wait to get into one of them.
