Gonna be in Spokane next week for Far West Regionals. ( Soccer tourn) What's there to do as far as recreation (how's the fishing) between games. Any advice on restaurants, bars, etc. also appreciated.
Fishing:
There are a lot of lakes in the area; the big ones (Coeur d' Alene, Ponde O'reile and Priest Lake) are all in North Idaho, but it's just over the border. There are a ton of smaller lakes closer to town, it depends on what you like.
I like Liberty Lake (20 minutes East), but it has a lot of residential build up. You could try Loon, Newman, Long, Badger, Williams, or Fish Lakes. Just pick up an area map, there is a "sportsman's access" map you see at at lot of the gas stations/convenience stores that has quite a bit of topical info. Check out the White Elephant for dirt cheap bait, tackle, and supplies. There are a lot of cooler more remote lakes, but you'd probably need more time and info. There is always Riverside State Park just outside of town on the Spokane River.
Bars:
As for bars, again, I don't know what you like, but there is usually a lot of action downtown at Gabby's ( -Irish, across from the Ridpath Hotel) the Sattelite (funky), Blue Spark (live music, a little yuppy), Legends (sports -lots of flat screen tv's), Cyrus O'leary's ( great pies too!) or even Dempsey's (a mixed preferences crowd, [swingers, etc] but live cabaret and people watching). Anyway, those are all downtown and if you hit one, you can figure it out from there and ask around.
Good luck in Spokavegas!
Thanks Schuss. Lots of good info there.
