Alaska Adventure, Columbia Closures, and Late-Summer Walleye Action

Salmon seasons will be closing on some areas of the upper Columbia River and at Lake Wenatchee at the end of the month. Many anglers have already moved on to try some of the other great opportunities we have in the region. I got the opportunity to fish with friends in Alaska.

Tough Sockeye Days on Lake Wenatchee & Updates on Columbia Closures

I fished several days on Lake Wenatchee for sockeye the past week, but I also took a couple of days off to get caught up on some work that needed to be done. My experience, that seems to be shared by many other anglers of the lake, is that the fishing has been very tough this season. One day may be okay and the next disappointing.
