Three reasons to go fishing at Sprague Lake

FISHING -- Here are three graphic reminders (above) of why some anglers prefer fishing at  1,876-acre Sprague Lake, which straddles the Lincoln-Adams county line. 

The photos were snapped last week by Scott Haugen of Four Seasons Campground and Resort. May and June are considered prime time for catching rainbows that plump up fast in this productive lake.

"Last week-end was fantastic still fishing in the boats, out in the middle between our resort and the big island," he said. "Several boats with limits, with lots of 3-4 pound rainbows."

Sprague also holds largemouth bass that grow to very pleasing sizes.
