Eagle lake

[dryrush]

Has any one been as of late? I was hoping to get the boat launched this weekend and figure out my new toys!

[Cory1]

Considering the lake is closed I certainly hope no body has been out lately...

That said I can't imagine there'd be any ice left on it but I haven't been that way in a few weeks.

Closed to fishing yes, but is it closed to boating? Some guys have new boats / toys in the boat that they want to test before opening week, rather than driving 2/3 hours to find out something is not working right on opening weekend. Chestermere boat launch is closed till may long (cement blocks put infront of launch) so Eagle is the closest.

Unless you are planning on launching a tin 12 footer then let me know how it went.

I know I sure cannot get my boat in there. Better take it to Ghost to be safe.

[newguy]

your right Troller. i took our 19' bowrider there last summer. tried 2 different areas and couldnt launch. ghost is a good bet early season.

Thanks Captain .i know it opens Thursday.
Hence the whole weekend thing. Just hoping some one closer thane has made a trip to check the ice situation

And ghost was still looking pretty solid as of Saturday don't think she will be cleared up for a bit yet.

And chestermere costs $$ to launch a boat. Not my cup of tea.

It's a 16' but I do believe i can get Er in. time will tell but I am determined to make it happen

You better have a 4x4 standing by with about 100 meters of rope to hook on to you and pull you back out of the mud.

You cannot back in deep enough to float your boat off the trailer any place I have seen and that includes the launch at the campground on the east side that they want last I heard 20 bucks to use.

Ain't worth messing up your truck boat or maybe both. Take the drive out to CV or Magregor but it is your call.

We put a 16 ft in eagle a couple years ago at the campground no problem. Yes it was 20 $ just to launch

$20 at Eagle to launch...WOW....Sylvan was I believe 15 a couple years back..I would not take my boat to eagle when there are so many lakes within an hour to launch for free

[Crackmacs]

Is the ice gone? assuming so

I sure would have enjoyed seeing that. Could not no matter what get my 16 Crestliner in there ever. I would have had to back so far in there was no way I was gonna get back out. Glad I checked the launch before I paid the guy.

Anyone got a good idea where pike spawn in this lake?

[TROLLER]

On the other bank by the old barn in the weeds.

[Crackmacs]

This lake sucks for shore fishing So hard to get anywhere. The water was very muddy today too.

That said,



He was around 75-80 cm, measured quickly to make sure.



(this was before they were trimmed properly)

Good day out, despite the lack of places to fish from. Saw lots of boats out there.

[the local angler]

wow nice pike man, the fillets is that from that pike?? i have never seen fillets from a pike that is orange like that. all the ones i get the flesh is white, at first i thought those were trout fillets. lol

[Crackmacs]

Could have been from the flash? I took a video of my friend cleaning it, I'll toss up on the youtube later tonight

[TROLLER]

The main diet in Eagle is the White Faced Chubb. Thus the colour of the skin as well as the meat.

The chubb is about 3 inches long and you can see them on your camera in the winter usually in 7 or less fow.

Caught this walley in 3ft of water opening day. I took a friend for a couple hours teaching her how to fish. She landed two pike both over 24". Great fun for a couple hours.
The walley was 60cm

[bigbadbrown]

Here's the pike

[d_convension]

Hi bigbadbrown,

would you mind telling me where you fish in the eagle lake? want to try some luck on the May long

Thanks

[Crankbait]

havent fished eagle in along time but we used to fish it at night right now for walleye casting no more then 10 feet from shore on the old bern. dont know if you can fish after dark there now but if you can it should still be making walleye like the guys picture.

Just right at the boat launch is where those fish were caught.

Pretty brave eating fish out of that slough. I wouldn't take the chance.
