The bait fishing bite is slowly beginning to show up off Eagle’s Nest and the Springs has a few trout milling around now, too. On warm, bright, sunny days and flat water when the trout lay low & out of the sun, bait fishing can do pretty well. The deepest trout we have caught was around 32feet deep. Most all our nice solid trout are still coming from 18 to 25 feet. Freelining and slip bobbers are finding a little action above 30 feet deep. There are a ton of fish off the west side off Wildcat Point and Lake of the Woods. The trout are just pounding minnows. The east side is also experiencing a minnow hatch and moving pods of trout. The east side off Black Mt, Eagles Nest and The Springs is holding a lot of trout. www.eaglelakefishing.net

When trolling around the pelicans, the trout have been up as high as 14ft and as low as 24ft. For leadcore trollers I have come up to 3 colors but still...... Read More
