• Seasonal Patterns

The season between ice runs from about early May to late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Anyone fishing Sprite Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Squitch Lake at 2.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Sprite Lake locally before you travel.
