One of my favorite places to fish from shore in the winter is at the Federal Park at Keller. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Coulee Dam and has been worth the trip many times in the past. When I arrived, there was one other angler up the beach from me. I got out all my gear, baited two rods and cast them out. The water was at the highest level I had ever seen in the winter here. The water was just a few feet from the edge of the beach. I heard the telltale splash of a fish on a line and ran up and watched the other angler land a fish. He had two on his stringer already, and they were all 16 to 17 inches. He had arrived a couple of hours earlier than I. Steve, the other angler, landed another fish, and I confirmed that I was using the same setup and bait that he was. I continued to fish, freshening my baits occasionally, and Steve came down to say he had his limit of five fish now. The last one was about 19 inches. I had three bites but didn’t hook a single fish. Not my day.
