If you want to take advantage of having family and friends home for the Holidays, and get out and do some fishing, I have some suggestions. Rufus Woods is always a good choice this time of year. You can take some wood and build a fire at the public accesses above Chief Joseph Dam, and fish from shore. Another good spot to do the same is at Brandts Landing. You could also launch above Chief Joseph and try fishing along the can line or put in at Seatons Grove to run down and fish the net pens. Lake Roosevelt is producing some very big kokanee again this year and I would launch at Keller to fish for them. The rainbow fishing is very good right now on Roosevelt, too, out of Keller or Spring Canyon. Fishing from shore near the Keller launch and at Spring Canyon can be excellent this time of year, too. Another place to look for big rainbow is on Potholes Reservoir. Anglers cast bait from the shore at Medicare Beach, on the east side, or from the public access sites along Lynn Coulee. So, bundle up and get out and have some fun!
