Ever since I was introduced to Spanaway Lake, I find that my skills are always improving. My buddies there are always showing me new techniques and products to improve my success rate on the waters. I give this place a 5/5 stars because it’s a very friendly environment
As one who has fished here for years most are shooed off by the slow bite in the spring. This lake has a TON of bass and crappie but the bite doesn't pick up till summer. and don't expect much until around and after sunset. In the summer I come here and always catch a couple bass and I have seen some carp here too.
