Crappie
Banks Lake near Grand Coulee is a great destination if you are looking for crappie fishing. This large reservoir offers expansive habitat for crappie to flourish. Spring is the peak season, with crappie congregating in shallow bays and around submerged structure to spawn. Look for them near weed beds, brush piles, and docks (where available). Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. Summer can still produce crappie, but they tend to move deeper into cooler waters, often suspending around submerged trees or drop-offs. Trolling small crankbaits or jigging vertically can be productive during these times. Numerous boat launches provide access to various parts of the lake. Fish early and late in the day to avoid the midday heat and boat traffic. The crappie in Banks Lake are known for their quality size, so be prepared for some excellent table fare. Keep a close eye on your electronics to locate schools of fish, as they can move around frequently.
