Fishing

Northeast Washington offers great fishing year-round in one of it’s nearly 70 lakes, as well as the Columbia, San Poil, Kettle and Pend Oreille rivers. The largest body of water, Lake Roosevelt, offers opportunities to catch species like rainbow trout, bass, walleye, and the prized sturgeon. During the colder months, ice fishing is popular on lakes such as Curlew Lake, Lake Gillette, Bead Lake and others, where anglers can fish through the ice for trout and other species. Whether you’re on a boat, the shoreline, or bundled up on the ice, the region provides a variety of fishing experiences across its lakes and rivers.
