We tried those Sprague Lake Rainbows this morning arriving at the lake at first light. we trolled around the east end with only a couple strikes to show for our time so we trolled towards the west end, at about mid lake we started marking fish and picked up our first fish. We continued west without anymore bites so we motored to the west end and got three more fish before we had to call it a day. The fish did not really provide us with a pattern to go with as we got one on a trolled muddler minnow one on a silver and black jerk bait one on a trolled wolly bugger and one on a crawdad crank bait. Our speed was about 1.7 most of the time. We spoke to Monika at Sprague Lake Resort and she told us it has been a later in the day bite. We would like to have stayed longer but it is my buddies 50th and he had plans with his wife for the rest of the day soooo what are ya gonna do ? Hope I gave enough info to help, Dennis

How much water are they running through that system right now? I assume it is still quite low?

Sprague is the upper lake on Cow Creek, actually feed by another creek now renamed Cow Creek if my sources are correct. Sprague has no dam at the outlet ( at least not anymore), so what goes in comes out, with height of the lake totally dependent on the week growth constricting the flows at the outlet, and the total flows.

Sprague is feed by water that flows through pasture and not directly through tilled farm land, so it never gets muddy this time of year.

In short, "they" are not running any water through the system, but the lake is as high as it is going to get, unless we get heavy rains, almost flash floods if you will.

Is this what you were asking tluedeke?
