Water temps are increasing at Eagle Lake, but early limits have still been the norm. Spoons (Little Cleos, Thomas Bouyants) are the ticket trolled between 15-25 feet, in a variety of color combinations. Red/white, pink/white, red/copper, etc. The east side near Eagles Nest has been producing well. Reports mention bigger schools of bait are starting to ball up in the 20 foot range. Fly anglers have been most affected by the rising water temps... fish are moving away from shallow rocky areas that produced well earlier this month.
Trout fishing has been very good if and when you locate the fish. Water temps have been in the mid 70’s by afternoon so trolling with a lead core set up including at least 60’ of leader - 2 colors in the AM and 4-5 colors as the day heats up was the ticket. We limited yesterday afternoon in 20 minutes with gold/red Thomas Buoyant lures.
The action at Eagle Lake has been on fire since the reopening on May 23. Water temps are still in the low 60s, and conditions are absolutely perfect. Trollers are pulling easy limits on Speedy Shiners and spoons at 20–30 feet... faster speeds are working better on the east side, slower on the west. Fly anglers have been having a blast nymphing...
The action at Eagle Lake has been on fire since the reopening on May 23. Water temps are still in the low 60s, and conditions are absolutely perfect. Trollers are pulling easy limits on Speedy Shiners and spoons at 20–30 feet... faster speeds are working better on the east side, slower on the west. Fly anglers have been having a blast nymphing orange flies over rock piles in 10–15 feet of water. Eagle Lake's famous unique-strain trout are living up to their name... hitting hard, putting up awesome fights, and eating very well.
