While in Grand Coulee Dam recently, I took the time to check out one the popular fishing areas. The level of Lake Roosevelt is dramatically low right now, and that often can mean good fishing out of Spring Canyon. Boaters will launch here and fish from right above the dam to the Swawilla Basin for trout and big kokanee this time of year. It can also be the best time to fish from shore. I stopped to see what was going on at Crescent Beach. It is quite a sight to see how far down the water is and how far anglers walk down to set up to do their fishing. I was lucky enough to run into a fish checker when I stopped to make a few casts from the shore near the boat launch at Cresent Bay. She gave me a report on how the anglers were doing. She said that the group that arrived at six that morning had six very nice rainbow. The other groups she talked to arrived later in the morning and hadn’t done very well. Only one fish among them. So, be there early to catch the rainbow off Crescent Beach!
