Well with a few days before the Chelan Tourney I'm starting the poll for what the winning weight will be. I've never fished it, (besides the guided trip last weekend , just kidding) and haven't heard much from the club about it. Here's my blind guess....

I believe someone will definitely figure them out better than the rest of the group, but I'm not as optimistic someone is going to bring in 30lbs since very few people have a lot of experience fishing Chelan.    I will say it will take 26lbs with only a few people really striking paydirt and figuring out the pattern.

Here's the way I see it:

1st   26lbs or so
2nd  20 lbs
3rd   19 lbs
4th   11  lbs
5th-through the rest of the field   10lbs or less
