Fish Report for 9-17-2011
Is Eagle Lake the "Best rainbow fishery in California"? Tom Loe thinks it is.
9-17-2011
Tom Loe
Eagle Lake has become my favorite still water destination and has earned its reputation as the best rainbow fishery in California. Eagle's scenic beauty combined with numbers of quality trophy sized rainbows makes it the premier natural lake fishery in the state.
The fall trip will take place from September 21st through October 16th. You are invited to join me up at Eagle for some truly memorable fishing. Please click on the Eagle Lake link for details and booking information. We have a few dates open, they are September 25 & 26, October 4 and 12. Hope you can make it.
My friends at Eagle tell me the bite has not stopped since we left this spring and that the water conditions are great. The South Basin and the narrows around Pelican Pt. are still fishing well with solid hatches of caddis, callibaetis, jumbo chironomids, and damsel flies. September will bring schools of chubs migrating into the shallows and the big rainbows will chase them into short water. It is very much like bone fishing for trout in the fall here as we focus on the shallow water structure. I can't wait, hope you can make up!
The above photo shows the Prunty's with one of numerous doubles they had at Eagle Lake this spring. Secondary photo # 1 shows Franko, Pops, & "the Ripper" who have caught & released well over FIVE HUNDRED Eagle Lake trout with me. Secondary photo # 2 shows Big E & Brettles who are long time Eagle Lake addicts and have enjoyed many doubles together on this beautiful natural lake.
