Northwest Fishing Reports

Sprague Lake...It's right on I90 and there are two different, privately owned, RV/camp areas on opposite sides of the lake. Both have full facilities and boat launches. Bring ear plugs because it is also right on the BNSF tracks and the trains sound their horns at the crossings and there is about tw...

Thanks for the link Knota! I'll check it out. The inlet streams are only seasonal so I don't believe that they would provide a very good spawning ground(maybe with the help of a backho hmm?). I also don't believe that there is much of a chance of anything aquadic making it past the drainfield that t...

The three or so tributaries are seasonal but the springs are constant. the drainage channel starts at about ten yards wide and has rockery and reed growth thr...

To AJ, narrows, Bodo and Ez; Thanks so much for your informing responses. I am getting more and more excited to get going on this project. Especially thanking you AJ's dad, your Email was exactly what I needed to hear. I am going to take your advice. Buhba

Thanks again Tom!


Maybe, I should just rely on the exsisting frog population?

Thanks Tom! We have a good rock distribution in the out take channel. We also have good reed growth around a bit over half of the pond. We have 6 different 'floating reed islands' that travel the length of the lake in the mornings and in the evenings. I am told that these floating islands that range...

Hi All, We have a 6 acre pond in our family that use to be a logging settlement back in the 50s and 60s. Today it is basically used for swimming and sitting on the side of. I have heard stories about how there use to be a nice stock of German Browns and Cut Throat that thrived in it. As with most ne...
