Last week was a blow-you-out-of-the-water week as far as the fishing goes...everything was being caught in huge numbers including walleye, northern and bass. Everyone wanting limits to take home had no problem filling them.
As for this new week that started yesterday, we are seeing a little storm the size of Missouri move through the area and no one has been fishing yet. The water's a little choppy, to say the least. The weather is now cooler since this is coming thru w/ highs forecasted in the low-mid 60s for most of the upcoming week. We saw mostly 80s for highs last week and lows in the 50s at night.
We'll keep you posted on the latest...

Don't Forget Your Passports!!!
Just another reminder that you will be required to show your passport at each border when you cross this summer. The only exceptions are if you have a land-card which allows you to pass w/out a passport or if you are a child under the age of 16.
All people ages 16 and over are required to have either a passport or a land-based passport card.
The reason I feel that I need to remind you is that we've had two people in the last week that have forgot them and had to turn around and grab them from home!

Returning E-Mails & Phone Calls....
As most of you know, in the off-season, we are very prompt in returning phone calls and e-mails. However, this time of year, it takes a little longer to return those phone calls, as we are usually not in the lodge until after 10 most nights...
E-mails are a little easier to answer seeing that we can do those anytime, so feel free to drop us a line. If you need to call, just bear with us and we'll get back w/ you soon! Maybe even try a couple times to grab us in the Lodge!
We tell all guests that are coming up that they can call/e-mail us before their trip for tackle tips, as we do not post those on the website. However, if you call several weeks or a month before you are scheduled to come, then we can only guess at what may be working at that time. It will be more beneficial for you guys if you can call no more than a week before you come! You are always welcome to call anytime with any other questions that you may have about your trip.
We look forward to having you guys in camp this Summer and the Summers to come!

Week 6 - Update for June 22, 2009
We've been extremely busy here at camp this summer. Lots of people in and out of camp these last few weeks... Hope everyone's had a great time!
As for the smallies, they are on the beds currently with some of the areas showing them leaving off and going to deeper waters. Last week, to say the least, they slammed the smallmouth. Lots of numbers and sizes caught...
The walleye fishing is coming on extremely well. Big numbers, big fish. They are still really shallow and up chasing bait fish right now. A great age class with anywhere between 12 inches to 32 inches being caught out there. Lots of happy campers!
Pike fishing is picking back up with them going a little deeper last week and now they are in the shallow bays with the walleye.
As for the weather, we've seen nothing but sunshine and warm weather for the last couple of weeks, with a couple days of rain mixed in there, but nothing heavy. The nights have been dipping down into the 50s the last week or so, so it makes for great sleeping weather.
If you guys have any questions, then you can call or e-mail us anytime! Keep those pics coming, as well, and we'll get them on the website ASAP!

New Outdoors Card for Non-Residents
We have had a new form that we are completing for the US Anglers visiting us this year. This is for a new Outdoors Card that goes along with the normal fishing license that you usually get while visiting. The Outdoors Card cost is $9.00 and it is good for 3 years. We fill out the form, you'll receive the original card in the mail in the coming year.
Just bring this card back with you when you come next year, or they will make you buy another one in order to issue a fishing license.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail or call anytime!

Update to Week 5 - June 16, 2009
Summer has finally hit Eagle Lake, Ontario!!! We started seeing some warm temps on Saturday, the 13th, and the sun has been out ever since. We have had highs in the mid-70s to low 80s most of this week with lows at night hitting the 50s. This is finally the break we needed to warm the water temps a bit.
The smallmouth have moved up on the banks in the spawn mode. A ton of 18 & 19 inchers being caught and some excellent trophies at 20-21 inches, as well.
Clearwater Lake fished extremely well last week. The lakers were deep but extremely active with good numbers and one 35 inch lake trout being the biggest caught that day.
Sunday, the 14th, was an extremely good day for big wallies on Eagle. Good numbers of 25-27 inchers being caught with our biggest being one 28 incher, one 28 1/4 incher, 30 incher and the biggest being 31 inches long!
The biggest northern this week has been a 39 inch hawg. With Muskie season around the corner, we are seeing some huge fish around the lake...

Week 4 - Update for June 7, 2009
Well, we are into week 4 of the 2009 Season... Things are starting to look up, fishing-wise & weather-wise. One thing that Eagle Lake is well known for is BIG FISH and the last 3 1/2 weeks have been no exception. We've had our biggest walleye at 29 inches, biggest northern at 42 inches, biggest smallie at 21 inches and lake trout from 8 - 15 lbs. Muskie season is not open yet but the guys are seeing some big hawgs out there...
The water temps are slowly warming up....again...if we can get this weather to start warming up, as well. Today was toward 60 degrees and overcast. Had a couple groups come in with max limits on both walleye/northern, along with several other groups catching almost as many...
We'll keep you posted...

Update for 3rd week - June 2, 2009
Well, we've got another week underway here at Bear Trail! The guys are catching some very nice smallies, with the upper end being at the 21 inch mark & 5 lbs. The water's still a little cold, so they are not staying on the beds yet. Water temps are in the upper 50s w/ air temps being in the 40s and 50s.
As for the walleye, the guys are catching the eater-size eyes in the warmer waters where the temps are in the 60 degree range. A lot of our groups are catching lots of slot walleye along with trophies up to 28 inches. The bigger ones tend to bite faster in the cooler waters than the smaller ones do. We are seeing more and more smaller walleye as the water temps come up.
As for the pike, lots of action...need I say more??
If you have any questions, please let us know!
