Time’s running out for Coffee Pot fly anglers

FISHING — A veteran Spokane fly fisher said he had Coffee Pot Lake virtually to himself on Tuesday and the fishing for rainbow trout was very good. He fished chironomids and was hitting big trout in water as shallow as 8 feet on the far end of the lake from the boat launch.

“But you don’t want to wait too long,” he said about the Lincoln County lake west of Harrington. “The chunks of crud that form in the water every year are starting to show.”
