Title: Eagle Lake Trout
Post by: saltr on Aug 09, 2018, 07:47 AM
Hello All. Anyone care to share some tips on targeting brown trout in Eagle Lake (near ti.) this time of year. The smallmouth and pike fishing is good right now, as we have been targeting shore structure and weedlines and having good success. We would like to try and target browns if anyone would care to share some info. Thanks in advance-saltr.

Did a return trip to Eagle Lake this week. Looked for some browns in the deeper sections early, jigging and trolling  with crawlers with no takers. Surface temp. in mid seventies. Really didn't mark much near bottom. We switched over to bass and hammered the smallies, with some largemouths around the weedlines. Good amount of bait fish with a lot of Loon activity.
