Took a buddy over to Spring lake to troll some flies around. Got out first hit on a Black Bugger not 1 minute from the boat launch. Just a little bow so we tossed it back. Spent about 3 hours on the lake. He hasn't caught a fish in 5 years living in Washington so my buddy had the time of his life. He ended up with 3 12" keepers and tossed back a few littler ones. I got 1 12" and 1 17" Triploid. I got a ton of hits but the fish seemed a bit more picky this day. It was pretty sunny and the action didn't really pick up until the sun went behind the trees. About 20:00 they started taking off the top all over the lake. I really prefer Spring to Desire, much few folks on shore and on the water.

An old gentleman told me about Spring Lake and said I would be surprised at the fishing (he lives on the lake and has fished it for many, many years). Tip: when the sun is bright, troll a little deeper - harsh sun hurts their eyes and they drop down a few feet. And, if it clouds up, take the weight off. The lake is only 32 feet deep. On sunny days i run the downrigger between 8' to 12'. As the temperature of the lake rises, they will drop to cooler water. I had my best catching using a holo neddlefish about 30' behind the boat. Hope this helps.
