I am loving this weather. It may be cloudy, but it’s not that cold and it’s not snowing. I got a couple of photos that were taken on Lake Roosevelt, just a few days ago, showing some big kokanee. They were caught while trolling at Crescent Bay, which is just above Grand Coulee Dam. I was kind of surprised to see kokanee being caught so low in the lake this early. They haven’t even started drawing the lake level down yet. Maybe there’s already good numbers of them in the Spring Canyon area. If you still haven’t stored your boat away for the winter, this would be worth a trip. Not only would you have a shot at some big kokanee, but the fishing rainbow in this area is also excellent this time of year. If your boat is stored, the fishing from the beach at Spring Canyon can be great. The rainbow, which are triploids by the way, are usually 16 to 20 inches. I park near the volleyball court and walk to the beach toward the dam. I cast a half-ounce egg sinker with three feet of leader baited with a shrimp and marshmallow combo or Power Bait. It’s fun!
