Today was my overworked wife's birthday; so I took her fishing. She loves to fish and proves her skill level nearly ever time by out fishing me. Like today, I hear her call for the net and I run over in time to net her 22" rainbow at just under 4 1/2lbs. It was shaped like a football! The 18" rainbow I managed to catch later was about 2lbs. and looked small next to it. No other bites and somewhat slow, but beautiful weather and nice fish. Sprague Lake Resort is open early this year due to the nice weather, too.

Was that her best trout to date at Sprague or anywhere for that matter. Nice birthday fish.........or two. Did you let her real yours in as well. It is her b-day after all!!!! Almost asked if fishing from shore, then looked for myself and there the answer was. Wright where you typed it. Thanks for the report.

Actually MotoBoat, she caught an even bigger rainbow from shore at Rufus Woods (6lbs.) years ago; however, yes that is her biggest trout from Sprague Lake. No, I reeled in my own fish, but she had a good time razzing me with comments like: "Tighten your drag!" (laugh)...."Don't you think you should pump reel that fish in?" (giggle). For some reason, my smaller fish actually fought harder than her salmon-sized one.

What part of the lake were you fishing from? Also what color Power bait? Thanks for the post.

Orange seemed to be the color and my wife's big one bit lightly; mine, two taps and "fish on"! Both resorts are now open. They charge you $5.00 a person to bank fish; the large public access at the West end is FREE.
