Fishing on the East Side

[GCRocketman]

So I live in Graham, got spots picked out here to fish for bass this year, and already have my trout and salmon rivers here on the West Side that I've been fishing the last couple years (Puyallup, Carbon, Snoqualmie, Cedar, Green).

I would never ask for a honey hole, but anyone got spots on the East side to try?  I know Moses Lake.  Yakima river.  Anywhere else?  Near Spokane? Cheney?  (Only area's I'm familiar with from the last deer/elk season)

I do spin and fly fishing, and don't own a boat.

Any help, info or anything else is greatly appreciated!

Blue lake, Loon Lake, and the best, Lake Curlew!

Do not forget, you have some great Kokanee fishing just south of you at Clear and Alder!

Potholes holds a ton of fish and open year round.  Lots of people have success just fishing from the Mardon Resort docks.  Call Mardon Resort ahead of time and if the fish are biting.  They're very helpful.

Best of luck!

the quincy lakes and potholes seep lakes have lots of bank access and most of them have pretty good fishing.  i need to make a trip over there soon.

Some not named: There's some decent smallmouth fishing with bank access on Long Lake. Used to catch some good size tiger trout in Fish Lake outside of Cheney. Spokane River and Roosevelt have good access.

They killed off fish lake two years ago, not sure what they've put back in. It was one of my favorite lakes 
Roosevelt, Amber, badger, loon lake for kokes, waitts lake for the browns, sprague for the 20" rainbows

I'm pretty much shore bound most of the time and do well for a mix of diff species at the I-82 ponds, Moses Lake, Potholes, some of the seep lakes, and sloughs off the Columbia.  It's fun because you never know what you'll catch at those spots.  Like someone else said at the Mardon dock you can catch fish at, but it does cost like 7 dollars a person if you aren't staying there.  There's other spots in the area you can try.  I think right now they're pretty much a trout show right now, but they're huge trout.  In a couple months you can catch your limit of 9-12 inch perch off the dock, that lake is smothered with perch ever since they put those artificial reefs in and lower the water later in the year than what they used to.

No kidding? That sucks. It's been a couple years since I lived up there. Always did well there.
