Sprague Lake Walleye going to Liberty Lake

[jmay]

I am a boat adjuster, this afternoon view a boat that met a early demize I was talking to a shop's service manager he stated he heard a rumor from a customer the state is going to Electro Shock Sprague Lake prior to killing it off, and move Walleye and possibley Crappie from Sprague to Liberty Lake. Not sure if it's true, but personally that would really be nice if the WDFW did.

Huh, I havent heard of this either. That would be really nice of them to do that, Because I really dont like the idea of just wasting all those fish. How far is liberty from sprague? I know it would save them money compared to them growing walleye of their own, but wouldnt it cost them a whole lot more money just in the transportation of the fish? If this is the plan I tink we will be hearing a lot more about it sonn, but I do like the idea, because I know there are some lunkers in that lake crappie and walleye.

I tried to confirm the rumor the fish and games website. The only thing I found is all limits have been lifted
Sprague to Liberty is about a 50 mile trip east

From what I've seen and read we all better get over there and fish. The fish and game dept. there wasn't going to listen to anybody since the rehab was proposed. It's to bad to see all the game fish go to waste though, but the lake is stuffed full of carp. I've seen some nice fish come out of this lake though, esp. Channel cats.
