It is always a rush to catch these impressive rainbows in Sprague Lake. The fish were biting, but definitely not red hot. I was hoping they would be aggressive with all the cloud cover today, but it didn't seem that way. Starting at about 9 a.m. caught 3 in about an hour and a half, then it was mainly dead until right around the end at 12:30 when I caught my last one. 2 of the fish were in the 20-21" range and 4.5 lbs. Just amazing fish. The other 2 were smaller but still chunky. The fish just buried the rod and went airborne each time. But it would be easy to think that there weren't any fish around because it would just seem like a desert between takedowns. Tried casting rapalas a bit with no success at all. Water temp was 40-42 degrees on the East end and 39 in the central part of the lake.
