Al and I headed back to Sprague with high hopes again. It was a chilly 18' as we pulled into the launch with no ice on the water. Water temps 34.5-38.4 today so with the forecast the ice will be there soon. We started on the east end and had 2 quick fish in the first 10 minutes with a perch Kekeda fly and a pink rippin minnow. The action lasted about 1 1/2 hours and the fishing got really tough. Late morning we decided to try the west end. We picked up 2 fish but the weeds were terrible and I doubt we were fishing much despite frequent lure checks. Fortunately with mostly sunny skies and little wind made for a nice morning on the water despite the temp. We ended up boating 9 of these great fish 18-20 inches. It was another good day on the water.
