Central casting: Local guide takes people fishing in Spokane’s Riverfront Park

It was about 5:30 p.m. on a Friday in Riverfront Park. A food truck served diners on the orange bridge over the Spokane River. People cruised by on bikes and scooters. The cowboy boots and denim crowd had started filling up the Spokane Pavilion for a country concert.

At the Great Northern Clock Tower, Marc Fryt stood in front of about a dozen people holding fishing rods.
