Howdy Folks,

Fishing continued to be very good this past week although not has “hot” as the previous week. This was due to the balmy weather we experienced this past week. We had a very good early morning bite every day however once the sun hit the water in conjunction with the “no chop” conditions, the bite got spotty. Most folks that fished early got limits of decent sized Eagle Lake Trout from 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. Fish up to the high 4 lbs were landed and weighed in this week. up to 3.5 lbs this past week. We are fishing in 6-12 feet of water with our trolled baits set from 5

Trolling: We are hooking and releasing 10 to 12 fish per day fishing from a foot below the surface to 6 feet deep in water that is 5 to 10 feet deep. Our best baits have been 2” Sep’s Grubs in the brown color pattern. Pearl white, Watermelon and orange grubs have also begun to take fish regularly. We are working “transition areas” of Eagle Lake for our fish. These areas hold fish that are moving from the south basin into the middle and north basins of the lake.

Hot fishing areas include Pelican Point, the Youth Camp and Bucks Point. Our biggest fish this week were right at 3.5 lbs. We are starting to see more and more snails in the stomach contents of the trout, indicating they are feeding in fairly shallow water and fattening for winter.

Bobber Fishing: Trolling is a much better method for taking Eagle Lake Trout at this time. This has been the case for the last two weeks. Trollers are taking bigger fish and more fish.
