When I see that there is a break in the rainy weather I think about where I would want to be if I could be out on the water. One of those places is fishing from the shore at Spring Canyon Park on Lake Roosevelt. The park is just a couple of miles out of the town of Grand Coulee Dam and there is easy access to water. I made my first trip to the beach here a few years ago and didn’t know what to expect. I cast out two rods baited with a marshmallow and shrimp and walked up the beach a ways to look around. I glanced back at my rods and one of them was skidding across the sand toward the water. I got to it before it got wet and reeled in a 16-inch rainbow. Not long after I got this rod rebaited and back in business, my other rod went off. I wound up with a limit of trout in about an hour. Needless to say, I have been back to the beach at Spring Canyon many times. I can’t say that the action is always this good, but I can’t recall getting skunked.
