thats awesome,we went there several yrs back and nailed the walleyes,heard they killed the lake to get rid of them..did the trains keep ya awake at night

The Train still go by, luckly I didn't stay at the resort, I stay at a cabin over at Davenport and just drove over which only took us like 30min., They did renovate the Lake a couple years ago, all I know is that the Trout there now are BIG, I was helping my buddy net one up when I looked over at my rod and the thing almost flew into the Lake, FISH ON, by the time I got to it the fish got tangle under the dock and by the time my other friend got there to try to net the monster up, it dove down and broke the line, I lost 2 Big ones just like that. You will need a net here. I was using 10lbs Power Pro for main and 8lbs-18" leader with Power bait and nightcrawlers. Your Rod will double over when you hit one of the big ones here.

Its really sad what they did to that lake. Now its just another stocker trout lake in an area that has trout lakes everywhere!

Great catch. Looks like you were having too much fun-(ya right).I walleye fished there like crazy and had a blast the last two years. After they killed all the fish last fall I have to drive all the way up to lake Roosevelt just to fish for walleye. Sorry but I just do not like to eat trout although they are fun to catch.

Nice fish, looks like a great time. I remember when they killed it off last time and within a couple years there were some huge trout comin outta there.

I dont personally like eating the fresh planters(the little 8-10"ers) either but when you get big holdovers like those they are usually pink meat and very tasty, if you do it right they can almost have a salmon flavor to em

That sting sure looks a lot better then a bunch of stockers.
If those are "stockers" More lakes around here should be filled with "stockers" like that lol.
Great pics Cruzer, sounds like a great time.
thanks

burnhamrandr · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2009, 06:32:21 AM »

good fish, I have been trying to make it there, but this whole work thing gets in the way. I have heard of some big fish comming out of there and now see the proof. Great job!!

Blacklab · « **Reply #21 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:58:50 AM »

Very nice!!! Looks like those tripods are doing there thing, getting big and fat

Just read a mag awhile back about spague lake. About how and why they killed it very interesting.

zackmioli · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2009, 09:15:27 AM »

Initially, then they replanted bass, crappie, catfish, etc. along with the trout.
