After spending so much time dealing with the heavy snowfall here in Leavenworth, I wanted to look ahead to when I can get outdoors and do some fishing. I have a great plan for next Friday. Austin Moser has invited me to come along on his first trip to Lake Roosevelt for the winter. This is something that we have done in past years. It is when we get a first look at what the coming season for kokanee may be. Good winter kokanee fishing can start this early, and if there are kokanee out there Austin knows where to find them. Even if the kokanee aren’t around in good numbers the rainbow fishing can be excellent. I am not sure right now if we are going to start at Spring Canyon or Keller. The early kokanee fishing can typically be further up the reservoir. As the water drops and the feed is drawn down, the fish can be found at Swawilla or even down below Spring Canyon. Whatever we learn or catch, it will be great to get out on the water with him and his friends.
