EAGLE LAKE

bite was slower today , and we didn ’ t find the balls of bait like yesterday . High pressure was coming in and we thought that would improve the bite , but it was not to be . We landed 5 trout , all in the Eagles Nest area again , and again all very fat , healthy trout to 4.2 pounds . The Silver Horde Kingfisher again caught the majority of fish , with a couple coming on a silver Mack ’ s Lure

Humdinger and also on a silver / red dot Cripplure . We fished at the Youth Camp , Shrimp Island , Wildcat Point and the southern bay by the boat ramp , with no fish except for a couple of Tui Chubs . Tuesday morning , we tried it again and again started at Eagles Nest . We made 2 passes before the sun hit the water , and caught 2 fat trout right off . Then it just stopped ! We trolled with nary a bite for a couple more hours , and admitted defeat and headed home . Eagle Lake is in good shape ,
