Roses Lake: Multi-Species Madness!

Roses Lake, located near Chelan, is one of Washington's finest small water fisheries. I caught a few species, but many more inhabit the lake! Will I stay sane enjoying the awesome fishing? Or will the excellent fishing drive me to MADNESS!?

Nice video Blake! I really enjoyed the scenery and the cloud coverage reflecting off the lake. Also the fish were definitely biting and that plate of Mexican food now has me starving for some Chips & Salsa!

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks David! that place was great. Both places!

Brings up lots of memories when we lived in Wenatchee, buying gear at Hooked on Toys, and fishing Roses and Wapato lakes. Glad you're back.

[@WAFishQuest]

thank you Slammin! It is a wonderful store!

Classic WFQ video and soundtrack capturing the PNW at its best! Thanks again Blake.

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks as always Troy!

[@joevales6775]

Great video "Blake about Town"/"Blake on Roses Lake"! Thank you for sharing. Missed you over the last few months. Love the little dingy boat. Wish I had one! Hope to see you on a trip down there. If ever up in Vancouver, I will take you bull trout fishing. Blessings!

[@WAFishQuest]

I live in Chelan County and my dad and i go over here a lot in the summer and always try for catfish. It’s so fun!

[@johnogden6668]

Loved the [default walking animation] gag at 12:53, keep up the good work

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks John! Glad you liked it! 😅

[@Knapp-n-Schlappi]

Hey Blake! I've been watching your videos a while now, in preparation of moving out to Washington at the end of summer. I'm out here rn for a week, and I just had my first clamming experience last night. Managed two horse clams at Dash Point, and its all thanks to your videos, keep it up!

[@Jarom.M]

That walking shot through town was great!

[@picnflwrsandchasingbutterflys]

Wow ..boat looks alot bigger on cam in the water..nice catchs..thanks again for the vid.

[@WAFishQuest]

thank you! indeed, it's basically like if I was floating on Shaq.

[@ronjones1414]

A crappie and a planter brown would make a fine meal. For the love of all that is holy, service those reels. TSI is your friend!

[@WAFishQuest]

that is a very fair hit Ron! that poor, poor reel.

[@Bigfishfun333]

I love Roses Lake!

[@WAFishQuest]

me too Bigfishfun. it's such a great lake in a beautiful part of the state!

[@qwertyuio905]

Someone told me there was catfish in that lake. I've never been there, but I want to try it. Thanks for the video!

[@WAFishQuest]

there is! they have channels forsure and I think bullheads too. thank you thank you!

[@youraveragefishkeeper]

Always love the videos Blake! I’m especially glad to see you putting that Livingston to use. I have a 7ft floater and a 10ft non floater. But I plan on doing a light restore on the 7ft so that it can be a 2nd boat for our fishing group this year at baker lake. I plan on stacking it on the 14ft StarCraft for the trip. 😂

[@WAFishQuest]

I love that idea-- i hope the restore and the stacking are a huge success!!

[@adamjensen795]

Awesome video, blake. I'm looking forward to fishing westport soon

[@WAFishQuest]

thanks Adam! have a blast in Westport!!

[@samsmith7150]

Awesome! Love your videos Blake, I live over in Kingston. How's the sprinting going?

[@ilonakiforishin1273]

Nice video Blake I enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!😃

[@Bigfishfun333]

That ramp is famously SLIPPERY.

[@WAFishQuest]

well, glad I could get in on the fame 😅... but seriously it's like a carton or something. You can't even stand on it!

[@darinsmith7024]

Good to see you posting videos again

[@chrismelton67]

Awesome vid. I grew up in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee a few decades ago.

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Good fishing, Blake

[@aveenvp]

Great vid! Question - how heavy is that small livingston? Seems like you can load it into your truck bed no problem. Wondering how big of one would be feasible for two people to lift/fit into a truck bed.

[@WAFishQuest]

Hello! I'm not entirely sure on the weight... 60-80 pounds maybe? I walk it over one my shoulders for short distances. I wouldn't want to go a mile with it. But if the water is only 100 feet away it's fine. More awkward than anything. Two people would be a breeze.

[@eddygarcia8814]

I love hooked on boys, I was just in there last night buying weights for kokanee trolling on lake chelan..

[@PeelingLine]

Gorgeous lake. Nice variety of fish. I wanted to ice fish there. I saw some nice tigers caught there this past winter. There's a restaurant there blueberry hills farm I wanted to try. Check it out if you head back. 👍

[@rickbrown7067]

Hey Blake, Great Video, do you have to register your boat with a electric motor?

[@WAFishQuest]

Hi Rick! You do not. There is more to the rule than this, but smaller boats (under 16 feet I think) with a motor

[@weerezboy28]

Welcome to wet behind fishing 😅

[@WAFishQuest]

ha ha, thank you Brad!!

[@my-back-yard]

First!

[@WAFishQuest]

thank you Brent! I hope you have a great season!

[@my-back-yard]

You too Blake! We should do another video!

[@ThePiscatorian360]

Non stop action! I think catching browns is a real treat! Tight lines Blake!
