Big largemouth in Wapato Lake. Chelan Falls area of the Columbia is also a good bet.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like Antilon for the kids would be a good bet.

Just spent a month in Chelan, Had good days on both Roses and Wapato with panfish and trout. We drove up to Antilon but looked like car topper access only.

Indeed, Wapato and Roses are both solid choices. Insane numbers of bluegill in both, and like everyone is saying some prehistoric monsters roaming them too.

Definately big fish in both lakes. From my experience, the bass seem to be a lot spookier in Wapato. Both are good lakes to fish but I would personaly hit roses. If you have time though definately check out both. Are you fishing with out of a boat or from shore?

there is a spot to launch a bigger boat in upper antelon but the water is down a bit so there is no way to get into lower antelon from there. we did a crappie survey there last month and were able to get our 20 foot research boat in there with little trouble. i recomend some hip boots.

If you have a hand-carry Dry lake has some beasts in it as well as countless sunfish.

Fishing out of a boat. Sounds like I've got some choices for both me and the kids. Thanks
