Title: Sprague Lake
Post by: RugerRay on January 25, 2018, 03:24:00 PM: Just curious if anyone knows if there is still ice on the lake, and how thick it is. Thank you!

Cryder, that sounds like quite the day! Good on you and Roy for making the best out of the situation. How did the rest of the day turn out fishing wise?

I attempted to fish at the WDFW Access at the West end today (1/29) and that end of the lake is entirely iced over; including the public launch near the island. However, the East end near Sprague Lake Resort with the "Pay At The Can" launch appear ice free.

No...I'm a "Bankee"; so my fishing was iced over. I took the "all gone" literally.
