Eagle Lake - Fin and Feather

[BCM26]

Has anyone out there fished Eagle Lake in July? The lake is a little larger than what I am used to but thought I would give it a shot. Any advise on resorts and tactics for catching fish on the system?

Thank you

I have fished Eagle every year for that past 10 years. Every year I go to Pine Beach Lodge. We are usually there for opener. But we did fish there once during Mid-Summer. Any of the better resorts should be able to give you pretty good guidance of where the fish are. Your best tactics will very for what kind of fish you are looking for, and what the water temp is. The lake can be very rewarding to learn how to fish. If one tactic isn't working one day then try three others and you are sure to boat a lot of fish. If you are looking for only Walleyes than there are much better choices than Eagle Lake, but if you are looking for Walleys, Smallies, Muskie, Northerns and Lakers, Than Eagle is hard to beat.

I believe Fin and Feather Resort is located on the Eagle River...What that means is every time you go out, you have to drive through the river to get out to the lake.( not positive, but look into that) That sounds like a waste of time to me when you can just find a resort located right on the lake...

I stay at Andy meyers Lodge...I did very well last July. Eagle can be a tough nut to crack but once you figure it out can be very rewarding in terms of BIG fish

Has anyone stayed at the Fin and Feather Resort? Thanks Brian. I wasn't aware of the river situation. I looked on Google Earth and wasn't able to pinpoint the location but it may be on the river. I am just curious as to how long it takes to get to Eagle Lake.

this is a quote directly from the HSOforum

"Located on Eagle River, just a 5 minute boat ride from Outlet Bay on beautiful Eagle Lake"

We fished Eagle last July fromm the 6th to the 14th..We had a good week other than 2 stormy days with high winds..the bite was good, we trolled shad raps, and lindy rigged with crawlers and minnows. casted some stick baits in the evening..lots of water to cover, but as any water up there fishing the wind and staying on structure produced some nice fish..beautiful scenery as well..lots of loons and eagles, deer and peaceful sunsets.Pine Beach Lodge is our choice, great food and very nice staff.
