Second post, same day, same lake, but for a purpose. After the day went poorly for Spinny Rays, we could not help but join in with some boats trolling for trout.

WOW

From about 4:30 until about 6:30 PM, we lost one fish about 7 or 8 pounds when it broke my buddy's line. He had another about 20" that broke him off as well. I caught one bow 21.75", one Cutt at 20.25 inches, and a third nice bow in the picture. Having the legal two fish over 20", I did not measure the other fish I caught and released. My friend also caught and lost a few other fish.

I do not know how long it will last, but it is clear that the trout fishing on Sprague is hot right now, and hot for large fish.

I have been told how good the old days were when Sprague was re-habed before. I suggest that the good old days are back. Enjoy them while you can.

PS, without carp in the lake, I could see a white tube jib at 9 to 10' depth. The water has some green started, but I have not seen the water this clear at this time of year since I moved to Washington in 1999.
