North Twin Lake Outing: Monday, May 27 - Sunday, June 2. Located on the Colville Indian Reservation, near Inchelium Washington, North Twin Lake is a wonderful fishery. The fish are large (18+"), and there are plenty of them. For those of you who enjoy eating trout, this is a put-and-take fishery, and the fish are reported as being very tasty. We stay at the Rainbow Beach Resort, which rents cabins, RV sites, and tent sites. They also rent boats. An option for this trip is a day of guided fishing on the Columbia River in British Columbia--just a short drive from the resort.
