That's a very nice laker 4sure
I have fished spray all my life mostly when the ice is gone from my boat. Last year I managed to get 5 lakers on 3 different trips the biggest being about 4lbs. On one of my trips last year a guy caught a 18lber so there are big ones. The lake has slowly got worse over the years. The food shortage what others are talking about is what I don't understand. In one evening last summer from my boat I caught over 40 whitefish in a manner of 2 hours with my flyrod using small caddis flys. So the bait fish are there. 10 years ago from my buddies boat we caught over 30 lakers in one day all around the 2lb mark. I still think the lakers are there but where? My fish finder always shows lots of fish but are they lakers? You have to remember that Spray is also a very long lake and the fish could be spread out anywhere
Anyways great fish thx for the pic and happy fishing
