I often talk about the fact that we have many clear and sunny days here in the region in the fall and winter. This past week they were hard to find. I did get out on Lake Chelan when we had some sun and calm water earlier in the week, but the balance of the week was very wet. I looked back to see what I was doing in November in years past and found some photos of fishing out of Keller for rainbow. I will troll Lake Roosevelt until I have to button up the boat for the winter, and then I switch to fishing from shore. I have had very good success catching rainbow of 16 to 22 inches from the shore at Spring Canyon and Keller. At Spring Canyon, I walk down to the beach below the swimming area and cast from there. At Keller, I drive along the shore to the east of the marina to a spot that is fairly close to the water. I use a sliding sinker rig and put a large pinch of marshmallow on the hook to float a shrimp with the head removed. The quality of the triploid rainbow we catch is outstanding.
