Lake Chelan has become a popular year-round fishing destination. Anglers consistently catch Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, Burbot Cod (Lingcod), Bass, and other game fish. Pikeminnow is considered to be the best bait for jigging or trolling. In the winter of 2001, a fisherman from Redmond caught a state record 35.7 lb Mack Lake Trout out of the Manson Bay area with one of our local fishing guide services, Allan's Fishing Guide Services. There are also 4 smaller lakes in the Manson area, one of which is well known for ice fishing. Fishing licenses, regulations pamphlets, and supplies are available at Kelly's Ace Hardware Store and Chelan Walmart.
