Wapato Lake Fishing opener 2008

The weather could have not been any better. The sun was out in all of its springtime glory and temperatures were in the low 60s with no wind...

We started the day off in Manson at the 1st Annual Community & Lake Chelan Building Supply Yard Sale. The Wapato Lake fishing opener was surprisingly slow, producing less than one fish per rod. Chaz and I almost got Skunked with only one fish but we were unable to pull it into the boat. One of the neighbors was feeling sorry for Chaz and I and they gave us one for dinner. The girls spent the day gardening in the gorgeous spring day.

Little Switzerland

All bets are off this year when it comes to weather predictions, but there's a reason the locals call this corner of Central Washington "America's Little Switzerland." The late afternoon winter light casts a steel-gray glow over the mountains and Lake Wapato.
