Eagle Lake is fishing AWESOME with more numbers of walleyes being caught this year than any year before! If they want to take home limits, they don't seem to be having any problems here! The populations are really high w/ a great abundance of walleye being caught between 15-23 inches. We've had several trophy fish caught w/ biggest edging 30 inches! Plenty in the 25-28 inch range, as well.
As for smallies, they were hot and heavy for the first 3 weeks of season, with spawn hitting a little early this year and they are now moving off of the spawn areas. We've seen VERY WARM water temps this season, with our water temps today hitting close to 65 degrees. No complaints here with the weather, with air temps ranging in the 50s to 60s most of the last week and a half! Big smallies caught this year with plenty of 4 and 5 lb fish.
As for northerns, the numbers are doing well but we've also seen several 40 to 41 inch northern being caught up with this Spring, as well. The muskie season hasn't opened yet, it opens June 19th, however, we've had several guests reporting muskies spotted in the 50 to 55 inch range.
I will keep this blog posted as much as possible, but please also check out our Facebook Fan Site for Bear Trail Lodge. I have been posting there quite a bit, as well, with some pictures posted as I receive them.
