FLY FISHING -- Washington Fish and Wildlife Department fisheries biologist Randy Osborne recently fished southwest Spokane County’s Amber Lake and reeled in this example of why anglers might want to wet a line there before the season closes at the end of November.

The lake is open for catch-and-release angling under selective gear rules and a prohibition on internal combustion motors.
