2008 Sprague Lake Forecast
In the early spring of 2008, the lake will be restocked with an initial emphasis on trout to revitalize the fishery.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) plan will be to restart the fishery over again similar to the 1980's fishing bonanza. The lake will be restocked with trout, large mouth bass, bluegills, crappie and channel catfish. There may also be some sterile tiger musky and triploid trout. Some 10-20 lb. channel catfish were removed from the lake before the rotenone treatment and they will be replanted in 2008 also. No walleye or small mouth bass will be restocked.
Another benefit of the rehab will be water clarity and algae reduction. Because Sprague Lake has such a good food base and habitat, all of the fish planted in the lake will rapidly grow large. For example, 10" legal trout planted in early spring should be 16" by fall of 2008. Those fish will be 2-2 ½ lb in 2009.
Look for those other fisheries to be established again in a few years.
