Lake chelan

Post by rappuhd » Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:23 pm

Hello,
Not sure if anyone looks at the forum anymore, but in hopes someone does I will post. I would like to fish Chelan in the next couple weeks with a new to me trophy 24 foot boat. Is it possible to launch a boat that size this time of year? If so what launch?

Only winter fished Chelan a couple times..... The launch at 200 Mill Rd, Manson, WA 98831 was great. Even with fresh snow overnight, the launch was always cleared and sanded for us first thing in the morning.

Thank you that is very helpful. Did it seem like there was enough ramp and deep water to launch a bigger non aluminum boat?

Plenty of ramp and water to launch your boat at Mill Bay, you should check out a couple of maps, there are a couple rock piles not far from the end of the docks, easy to avoid if you know they are there. You can also launch in town just below the high school, great launch.
