Fishing was fantastic mid-July. Trolling flies behind a float tube and casting towards rising fish were productive for fish in the 10- to 15-inch range. Using bait or casting lures can also be quite effective. The water is still pretty warm so wet wading is also an option. This lake will fish well until the snow flies.

This is a great 2.5 mile hike into the Gearhart Wilderness. Don't forget your mosquito spray! Access is available via the North Fork Sprague Trailhead and the trail Has been cleared.
