About this spot

Fourth Of July Lake

Fourth of July Lake (near Sprague, WA) is best known for rainbow trout fishing, especially productive in early spring and late fall when waters are cooler. Access is best from the WDFW public boat launch on the northeast shore; there’s limited shore access near the launch and along the road. Trolling from a boat using spinners, spoons, or PowerBait is most effective. The lake is open seasonally (typically March 1–June 30 and Dec 1–Feb 28). There are no docks or piers, and shoreline is mostly undeveloped. Focus on deeper sections near drop-offs. Occasional brown trout may be caught, but rainbows dominate.

Choose the right gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep it clean
