Northwest Fishing Reports

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about Sprague lake in eastern Washington I heard its preaty good but wondering if anyone knows any info.

Which specie of fish are you thinking of fishing for?

walleye

There are no longer any walleye there. The wdfw rehabitated the lake a few years back and made it a trout lake.

Well, that's not entirely true. Yes, there are no walleye, that part is true. Sprague is managed as a warmwater species lake with trout added as an interim fishery until the warmwater species recover, or so we've been told by WDFW. Unfortunately, the planted warmwater species are not growing at the anticipated rate, much to the chagrin of warmwater anglers who like to fish Sprague.

I would think if WDFW wasn't able to poison out all the carp then some of the walleye might have survived also. Just a thought.

In the earlier post I was being sarcastic when I said "walleye".

Jipper.
If you are after Trout, Sprague would be a good bet.

If you are looking for warm water species you may want to go anywhere else.

thank you guys for your knowledgei went down there to check it out for myself and did pretty good. right now it is great fishing you should check it out.
