Fishing Magician Report - May 16th

One of my fishing buddies, Richard

Robinson from Leavenworth, and I made the trip down to Drano Lake

to fish with Shane Magnuson for spring salmon.

For the first time the weather was

clear and dry and very little wind compared to the other times I

have fished down there. The fish are in, that's for sure.

Shane had limits for his clients by 6

a.m. the first morning. They were having such a good time that they

insisted that we keep fishing and allow Richard and I to land a

couple ourselves. The fish are dime bright and very frisky.

The ones we landed ranged in size from

about 10 pounds to 18, but fish over 30 pounds have been taken from

Drano and off the Wind River this season. We trolled a variety of

offerings and caught fish on herring, prawn spinners and the Yakima

Bait MagLip Flatfish.

Most of our fish were taken "in the

circle" near the bridge, but we did get fish on the lake, too. This

is an ideal time to fish Drano Lake and the Wind River for spring

salmon. If you want to give it a try, give Shane a call and see if

he has some dates available to take you out.
