It has been a long time since we fished Sprague Lake and decided to give it a try this morning. The new dock was pulled from the SW launch but looks like a great addition. We started pulling rippin minnows, our old Sprague Lake killer, and I put out a single orange fly with crawler chunk. 10 minutes later the fly got slammed and a bright 20+ inch rainbow went airborne multiple times. It took nearly 10 minutes to land and we thought game was on. An hour of trolling with nothing got us into search mode again. Over the next 4 hours we landed 6 more gorgeous fish in the 18-22 inch range. All great fighters and most went aerial.
Speed 2.0-2.5 MPH, 10-15 FOW. Eventually switched all lines to flies with 1/4 ounce weights ahead of leaders. The weather improved all morning with the wind laying down and temp 65 when we got to the launch at 12:30.
An unbelievable weather day for the second week of November! It also gave us a great half day before returning home to face election coverage.
