Looking to go Sunday AM. How was the wind Saturday?

Slow day on Spray. Managed 7 Lakers from 8 to 9AM, but inly one keeper at 15".....the rest were under 10"......
The wind was terrible.....

There is quite a bit of snow on Spray as of today, 4" - 6" of drifted snow. Wind was pretty bad at times, so more drifted snow. This was taken today, Feb. 11.

We found fishing today to be pretty good by my standards, we brought 12 fish to the ice between two of us in about 6 hours, but plenty more bites and marked fish on the flasher. Most were quite small, but I caught my personal best from Spray today at about 1 PM

We caught a few more about this size, but most of the other fish we landed were pretty small:

All in all a pretty good way to spend a day.

Thanks for sharing. Nice fish.

Nice Update

Nice catch Scott N!

Slowwww day up there today. Fished 8am-2pm and managed to ice one small laker. Had 2 other nibbles. It was gorgeous out, but the bite was as slow as I've ever encountered in the winter.

anyone been having any luck up here lately???


FYI road is closed 12-16pm tomorrow for avalanche work

most of the time its really windy...

Was atspray this morning lots of snow but beautiful weather outside few bites but no fish landed -anyone else having luck.

Fished Spray last weekend, and was checked by a conservation officer on a snowmobile. Great guy, was very thorough in talking about the regulations and what they mean to us as anglers. I had brought a group of new anglers out to Spray for their first time, and also happened to be their first time being checked by the authorities. He checked our licenses, hooks, tent, our numbers of retained fish and our bait.

Good experiences with officers don't seem to get reported publicly often enough. Looked like a fun day to have that mountain lake all to yourself on a snowmobile, in fresh snow! :sHa_shakeshout:

What do you mean by checked hooks?

Maybe illegal bait?

Did the CO have an English accent by chance?

I've met him a few times. Pleasant fellow. He seems to like my golden retriever. Hahahah

He inspected our hooks that we were using, not sure how I can clarify that any more for you.

I assume he would be looking for illegal bait, too many hook points, etc. - however he didn't say, and I didn't ask.


You bet he did.

How's the fishing been? Haven't been up there since Christmas

1 fish this morning and about 33 inches of ice was nice flood water minimal only few spots, anyone want to go soon?

Is the Goat Pond accesible in winter as well? I've never fished up there but am very interested. I imagine the SDS Trail has to be fairly accessible in order to get to Spray?

not sure what the SDS trail is but the 782 highway to spray lake is maintained all winter long

Ive fished it probably a dozen times this winter and haven't seen it over 20 inches of ice. Are you saying it got 13 inches of new ice in the past week?

I was with him.. I have a 10" jiffy and she bottomed out then a wave of water came up when I broke through and flooded the engine yay!! The ice is real thick
