Rosco Tolman, of Ellensburg shows off a 20-inch rainbow he landed while fishing aboard Shane Magnuson's boat on Lake Roosevelt. The big rainbow hit a floating Rapala straight-lined way behind the boat.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991.
