eagle lake ontario

im headed to eagle lake this month and was lookin for any heads-up or tips i guess ant info would be much appreciated

thanks alot

I was just up there in June. Had good luck with numbers but not size. Stayed on the northeast corner. Where are you going to be? We had great luck on the X-Raps #10 and 12. Smallies on tubes and grubs, some on husky jerks and the x-raps. Average size smallies were 3 1/2 lbs. We had one over 5# and three right at it. A lot of muskies seen, but it was the week before opener. Colors that are good for muskie are the ORANGE with white or black. Let me know where you are staying and I’ll try to give you some better details.

Been 10 years,all I can say its a big lake and great walleye& muskie fishing I remember fishing around a place called bear narrows, lots of luck

I would recomend draging your own boat up there. The resort boats aren’t bad but you’d be more comfortable. I was up there last year stayed at eagle lake lodge. It was alot of fun and they were extremely accomodating I’ll be headed back up next summer. I had to leave in a hurry due to a medical emergency I was chasing muskies while I was up there. I saw 6 fish between 38-45″ and the other group of guys up there caught a huge 52″ fish and several in the mid 40’s What will you be chasing cause I can offer more advice if I know what you’re looking for.

hey guys thanks for the help. we are going up there to chase big muskies!! i am getting pretty exited im not a very avid muskie fisherman i like smallies of course but i have the oppertunity so im going. we will have two boats so the boat situation is covered. im not for sure yet what end of the lake we will be on, my buddy set it all up and invited me along short notice so i dont know all the details yet. anyway just lookin for some tips so im not totally in the dark when i get up there

thanks again

When I went up there the guy that owns the lodge at which we stayed said,” Small buck tails like vibrax or Mepps. I had the best luck on Black/silver. We had some lookers on the bulldogs in white or black/orange, but generally everything in the box got washed. It’s a tough nut to crack though lots of rock reefs and in the area I was fishing not alot of weeds. If you can find out where you’re gonna stay I’d call them and ask what the hot ticket is, cause they want you to catch fish so they’ll be more than willing to give you the 411. All in all it was a blast though and I look forward to doing it again next August. Please send me a PM when you get back to let me know how it went for you guys.

we are staying on the north end of the lake at birchdale lodge so thanks for all the help im leaving wed. am. i can hardly stand it any more. thanks again

No Problem Let me know how ya do. Good luck in your quest to boat a monster
