Winter fishing Spokane area

Is waitts frozen?  my kids would like to try a bit of ice fishing

I think that could be a call to waitts lake resort. They can tell you what they see out the window.

I didn't want to be that guy that asks if a lake that never freezes has frozen    I take it Waitts does freeze enough to ice fish?

Fishing from shore at rock with a slip bobber using worms and power bait will catch bows deep and steelhead shallow. Bring extra gear because the rocks are merciless.....but the fishing is nonstop.

Are scents more or less effective during the winter? I have a bunch of scent but haven't been out to test this year. I'd think if fishing deep or under ice, scent would help.

Newman, silver eloika are the close Spokane lakes. 4th of July has good trout action, hog canyon was slow for me. 1 bullhead.    Silver has tons of small small perch. But constant action.  Went out today 01/08/16. Nothing but itty bitty perch

Do you have a specific scent you use? I bought a few different scents from a local company and they all seemed to smell like anise. I've tried that scent as well as garlic in the past as a diy trial.

gotcha!    I knew they put them in sprague and some other lakes, just never heard WHICH other lakes.

I ate some steelhead over the summer that was so good. I've never fished for it before but now I'm thinking I'll have to

We tossed some garlic salt and basil at the rock lake steelhead and even my kids that are not too hip on fish swallowed it hook line and sinker.
