This report covers 6/16 - 6/18. There isn't much of an evening bite on the lake. I hit rainbows on Saturday and Monday. Sunday was too windy to have my kayak on the water. Saturday's catch was a 15" Tench and an 8" rainbow. Monday at 0530 was great. I had 4 12" rainbows quickly and added another 15" Tench.

For those who don't know, Tench fillets can be soaked in milk. Very firm flesh.

Good to hear about the Tench .used to catch 1 or 2 every time i fished Sprague Lake. Thought they were pretty Good Eating . Just a Cool looking fish as well . Thank You for a Great report . I used to know some folks that caught a lot of perch on Downs.

I'd love to hit some perch. All I could get to take 'crawlers were the 'bows and Tench. Lots of fight from both species especially considering I use ultralight gear!

I think they would use a jig with a chunk of worm under a bobber and drop it into the spaces around the lilly pads and such. Cant beat a Kayak and ultralight gear it has become my favorite way to fish.
