Banks Lake is a sprawling 27-mile long reservoir stretching from Coulee City at the south to Electric City at the north in central Washington state. With nearly 27,000 acres of water and an impressive 91 miles of shoreline, this large reservoir offers anglers a diverse fishery with multiple species to target throughout the year. Located in Grant County at an elevation of 1,574 feet, Banks Lake provides excellent shoreline access, particularly along its eastern bank, making it a popular destination for both boat and bank anglers. The lake is known for its trophy walleye fishing, abundant smallmouth bass population, and the often-overlooked but plentiful lake whitefish, which according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is the most numerous species in the lake.
