Eagle Lake First time

[CardiacCowboy]

Going to Eagle Lake by Strathmore for first time this evening. Shore fishing, not sure where to start. See there is a road on a causeway over lake. Is this a good spot to start.

Any advice or tips appreciated.

Bring waders. Water is very shallow for 100ft or so.


Water can also be dangerous if the blue/green algae is in full bloom.

How did it go? Algae blooming yet?

Thanks for reply. Saved me a trip. I will try out another day but have an issued with my knees that flairs up sometimes and was not upto wading long distances on Friday.

I was out there last week. Fished with waders 60 feet out (the boat launch area is really shallow) & still could not cast out past all the weeds! I tried all the way around the cement berms! It is nasty there! Not even a nibble! There were 4-5 others fishing from shore & nothing! :angry3:
