Troll Fast For Rainbows
SPALDING - “My wife Shirley is recovering
from shoulder surgery so I’d been off the
water, but I got back to fishing last Monday
and Tuesday and we did pretty good,” related
Cliff Spediacci of Hook & Ladder Guide
Service.
“I started off the day trolling slowly Monday
and I couldn’t buy a bite. Finally, about 9:30
I decided to change things up. I put Speedy
Shiners on our rods and started trolling a little
under 3 miles per hour. Almost immediately we
started hooking fish and ended up with limits
in the box in about 45 minutes. The next day
I started out with Speedy Shiners and we got
three quick limits and lost a couple fish too,”
exclaimed Spediacci.
“The trout are holding right about 20 feet
deep and I had my lines running from 18 to
22 feet down. Color was important. I had my
best luck on the Frog Pattern Speedy Shiner.
I spoke with some other guys and it seemed
like having a green lure was one of the keys.
Our trout all ran about 2 pounds, but one of

the fish we lost was a heavyweight. We
got it close to the boat once and I’d guess
it weighed around 4 pounds,” concluded
Spediacci.
Most anglers are trolling for their trout
at Eagle Lake, but the bait and bobber
crowd has been catching a few fish too
while fishing from anchored boats, but
it takes patience. The best area has
been the springs near Black Mountain.
Threaded night crawlers drifted beneath
bobbers in 18 to 30 feet of water have
been drawing strikes. Anglers using
fluorocarbon leaders are enjoying the
best level of success.
If you’re planning a trip to Eagle Lake
and would like to take your RV, get in

RV Park and ask them about the Fish
