A CHINOOK FOR SURE! -- Cara Mott Lanphere and her dad Bill Mott celebrate her catch of this elusive and strong Chinook salmon. During a pre-Father's Day adventure, they were with other family members on the Icicle River, Wash., and guided by Brad Wagner of Bobber Down Guide Service, Wenatchee, Wash.
I was visiting my family in Wenatchee, Wash., in late May, early June. My dad Bill Mott had scheduled a guided fishing trip for us with Brad Wagner of Bobber Down Guide Service — a half-day with my dad and me, and the other half-day, my husband Mac and brother Chris would be joining Wagner for the second tour.
This day was the perfect time for the first run of the Chinook salmon in the Icicle River. A tributary to the Wenatchee, the Icicle is a small river running through the Central Cascade Mountains in the Bavarian-clad town of Leavenworth.
