Looks like you've had the piss taken out of you already so I'll just stick to the fishing advice

Any of the coves / shoreline from Lincoln & hawk creek all the way up to the Spokane river are good for bank fishing.  Even bank fishing at the Ft. Spokane park / boat launch can be very productive.  I will say the best bank fishing is in Feb-April but some good walleye, smallmouth and trout can be had this time of year too.
If you have the patients worm and marshmallow off the bottom from the shore is probably the best or find coves and toss soft baits. 

All the coves in Seven Bays are good, just make sure you are quiet as the locals will call the cops at the drop of a dime... stay away from the docks at the marina... trust me on this one.  But the shorelines are good in marina area.

Best tip, find net pens... Walleye will be there.

Too Tall: I will probably never fish there, ever.  But why do walleye congregate around net pens?  Free food, or something else?  Just curious.

Good question, my theory isn't just food; i.e.: coming from the fish feeders, the fish that slip thru the net or die and fall to the bottom...  but the environment the nets are placed in, i assume purposely, have all the essentials for little fish to thrive... so why not big fish too.
Most coves with nets have fresh water coming into them or are positioned to get current from the river...

There are people that post up right on the nets but I have found that the leading edges of the coves entering the main channel are the best.
