I have talked about the fun that can be had with friends and family fishing from the shore on Rufus Woods Reservoir over the Holidays. Another good place to go for good action from shore is Lake Roosevelt. I have had very good days fishing between Spring Canyon Park and Grand Coulee Dam. I walk down to the beach below the swimming area at Spring Canyon, and when I see that I can cast into what appears to be 10 or 12 feet of water, I set up my rods. I have limited several times from this area on Lake Roosevelt with trout averaging 16 inches. Another favorite destination of mine on Lake Roosevelt is at Keller. I drive down to one of the spots in the park along the shore below the marina. Putting my rod holders up the beach from the irrigation pipe. This is a gradually sloping bottom, and I put on up to an ounce sinker and cast it as far as I can. Power Bait is effective when fishing from shore with a slip sink rig, and I like to use a large pinch of marshmallow and a jarred shrimp with the head removed on a size #4 hook.
