After being BLOWN OFF by high winds yesterday at Sprague Lake, I decided to give Medical Lake a try today. Slow at first, but upon the arrival of a polite group of anglers, I got no less than five follows tossing a new spinner; I just could not get them to commit. However, the arriving group's female angler caught a large rainbow on a spoon (released). Nice people to share the bank with and all fishing legally with no bait/single barbless hook lures. Unfortunately, I did hear one fly fisherman's mention of "some kid" recently catching a 25" rainbow on…a bobber and worms (illegal). On my portion of the bank, I noticed evidence of recent, PowerBait usage (also illegal).

Thanks for the report -- were you fishing from near the cliffs at the southeastern shoreline (near the parking lot), or at the north end? Were the fish striking your lure on the surface, or down deep? What was the speed of your retrieve?

Fish definitely hanging deep; so I would cast…wait…retrieve SLOW. The fish would follow the lure all the way to within inches of shore. Sorry, I don't like to broadcast a bank fishing location over the Internet. I was near one of your mentioned locations.
