Title: Sprague cats and Moses walleye***random****
Post by: Florida_Native on July 16, 2013, 08:29:04 PM: Planned a double wamy this week. Spend the day on Sprague after cats. Only one bite. Planning on hitting Moses tomorrow for walleye. Waves got pretty big today. Woulda sunk if I didn't have half a brain and boating experience. Anyways has anyone had success with cats on sprague wdfw says the stock em but I couldn't tell.

Also any tips for Moses walleye? Will be my first time ever for walleye. Was planning on using a drops hot.

Thx!

I loved that lake before they killed it. Swore I wouldn't be back until the walleye were back. Haven't been back either.

Post by: quadrafire on July 17, 2013, 07:19:41 PM: I had heard that they restocked the cats and was wondering how they were doing.
I know they have been catching good numbers of large trout, but haven't heard about the panfish/bass etc.

Post by: plugger on July 17, 2013, 07:36:08 PM: Have heard of some decent bass being caught but nothing else. They did use the cats they took out for brood stock

Post by: Florida_Native on July 18, 2013, 07:51:37 AM: I spent the majority of the day on sprague. Fished a drop shot and a bottom rig with a float to suspend it. Beef live, worms and shad. No luck. I'm not sure the lake was deep enough for that though. The spots I read about people catching em are ony about 5 feet deep. Oh we'll that's fishin. You live you learn. It's the final day of my weekend and I'm going to my proven spot... Silver.

Btw go fish on the wdfw website is pretty helpful. Has proven sucessful yet but it seems accurate. It also tells you what they stock in lakes.
