Sprague Lake has bank access via two resorts and lots of bank access via a large public access on the Westend. The rainbows grow LARGE with fish 20"+ not uncommon.

Lake Roosevelt has lots of bank fishing and the quality of the fish's flesh is excellent.

Lots more lakes open on the last Saturday in April (check the regs); so the timing of your trip is important.

West Medical has decent bank fishing. We normally fish from the boat. If you aren't afraid of a little hike, you can walk in on the western bank and get away from the crowds. You can get into fairly deep water with a decent cast. We set our leaders at about 24-36". Good luck!

Waitts (Winona beach resort) has great fishing, you can catch decent browns from the dock for a small fee.

Well if you are retired Mil there is a facility on Clear you can access and they have a fishing dock, But then there is also a fishing dock thats a pay to fish as well.

I'm not sure if any resort's rent boats anymore with the liabilty risk. Since everyone is so lawsuit happy any more.

Waitts does have some good fishing for Browns and rainbows. Clear has some huge browns and fair rainbows.
Silver has spiny ray and Tiger Muskys. I think thay plant it with trout as well. Liberty struggles with access most of it is private homes and for a while the lake owners were trying to have the public launch removed.

Thats all I got. [unsure]
