Fish Traveler Guide Service, Eagle Lake Fishing Report for Sunday, June 6, 2010

Howdy Folks,
The fishing at Eagle Lake continued very good this past week. We had limits of Eagle Lake Trout every day except Friday, June 5, when the wind pretty much blew everybody off the the lake.

The surface water temperature ranged from 52-55 degrees this week. Although we are catching fish in fairly shallow water, the fish have not shown up in the "shallows" (under 10 feet of water) in any great numbers yet. The fish seem to be scattered all over the lake at this time. As the water warms, more and more fish should move into shallower water where we will be waiting.

Trolling:
Trolling in tight to the shoreline on the west side, south of Shrimp Island continued to be very productive this week. We are working water 10-16 feet deep over a rocky, uneven bottom. We are setting our trolled baits from just below the surface to 6 feet deep and runnig them 125-150 feet behind the boat. Brown and watermelon 2 inch Sep's grubs were the top producers this week. The bite has been best from about 5:00 A.M. to 9:00A.M. Our average fish this week was 17-19 inches in length, weighing in at 2 to 2.5 lbs. The fish are fat, bright silver, and healthy.

Other sccessful trollers are catching fish in Miners Bay, the Youth Camp, Pelican Pt., and Wildcat Pt. Many are catching fish fishing shallow in deep water; i.e. trolling from the surface down to about 6 feet deep in water that is 45-50 feet deep.

Bobber Fishing:
Bobber fishermen have had good success anchored up off the Youth Camp shoreline. Anchoring in 15-20 feet of water and setting a threaded night crawler below a bobber at 7-8 feet deep has been productive.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
