Spooner has been fishing well bank anglers report success in areas clear of weeds. Try getting out into the middle of the lake for more action. Castmasters and Blue Foxes have worked well. Some power bait action has worked in florescent green and rainbow.

The regulations were changed for Spooner in 2006 from a zero fish limit to a five fish limit any legal method, which means that you can now fish with worms or Power Bait. Spooner has a lot of shoreline aquatic vegetation, so if you don't want to fish by the dam, you should fish from a small boat, canoe or float tube. The fishing has been excellent.
