Howdy Folks,
Last week I reported that fishing up here at Eagle Lake had slowed down due to the very warm weather pattern we were experiencing. The weather pattern brought temperatures in the high 80's during the day and low to mid-40's at night. This has lasted the entire past week and really scattered the trout. Prior to the warm weather, many fish had moved north into shallow water where we were "on 'em".
Today the weather finally changed. We have light rain and wind. The bite was really back on today with many anglers taking early limits of Eagle Lake trout to 3lbs in shallow water.
Trolling:
The weather forecast is for continued cooling, with day time temperatures in the high 50's and night time temperatures in the high 30's for the coming week. I expect the "shallow water trolling pattern" to kick back into high gear. Troll water 10 feet deep or under with watermelon, pumpkin seed, or brown grubs. The weather is expected to be cloudy all week so the bite shouldn't be limited to just the early morning hours.
The best trolling areas include the Youth Camp shoreline and between Wildcat Point and Pelican Point on the west side.
Bobber Fishing:
Same story. Bobber fishing picked right back up today. The best report for bobber fishing was anchored off the Youth Camp in 15-20 feet of water with threaded night crawlers set at 7-15 feet deep.
Launching:
Launching is no problem at the Spalding Launch facility.
