Fishing has been great but catching has been tough. Seasonal changes along with the hazy basin, dark water & water temp drops. Mid 60’s to low 60’s...springs at 56F...from 59F. The fall transition generally last around 3 weeks before settling into a pattern again. Fish are scattered as normal for the transition period. Some moved north but very scattered & in small pods. Cover the water column from top to 25ft. Orange, red/gold Thomas buoyant still getting attention. Throw the box at em though. If we can keep the cool nights we will probably see things pick up in a week...however, we can also see what I call a “freeze frame” where temps don’t budge....so hold on, I’m sure October will be awesome!! Basically it’s Eagle Lake & she has her moods between her seasons. And pretty much, that’s what we all love about her challenges!

Well I don’t know bout y’all but that south basin was ripping big water early! 59F-60F surface temps off the Youth Camp/Biology Station this morning... bout as far south as we could safely go from spalding & get back. Lol. Doesn’t look bad from spalding but.... be prepared. 35mph gusts predicted this afternoon & it was easily sustained in the teens early. ......

Beautiful overcast morning. ‘Bout time we cooled back down. Windy early today. Fishing has been fair to fairly good since the weather heated up. Fish are moving around and down a little. Surface water temp up from 54/55 last weekend to 63-65F this weekend so we need the cooling off for a few days. Red/gold Thomas Buoyant still producing. Watermelon needlefish, watermelon sure catch, brook trout #5 sinking rapala, orange (#1 red magic fishscale), all around best and olive trolling......
