Walleye
Walleye fishing near Harrington, Washington, is centered around Sprague Lake. This large, relatively shallow lake offers ideal habitat for walleye. Spring and early summer, particularly right after the spawn, are prime times to target them. Trolling with crankbaits or jigs along the drop-offs and weed lines is a popular and effective method. Sprague Lake has several boat launches, providing easy access to different parts of the lake. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly and make navigating the lake challenging. A local tip is to use your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as the walleye will often be nearby. The walleye in Sprague Lake can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 10 pounds. Be prepared for a good fight, and remember to practice proper catch-and-release techniques to help maintain this valuable fishery.
