Eagle Lake is without any doubt the premier rainbow trout still water in California. The fish average 19 inches and weigh 2-3 pounds. You can expect 23 inch fish on a daily basis with some 25 inch models to add on your trophy photo wall. Eagle is the second largest natural body of water in the state. The Eagle Lake species of trout are indigenous to the lake and have been planted successfully in huge numbers all over California. Eagle has been managed by the Cal DFG as a trophy trout fishery and has special regulations to insure quality fishing during the season. I hold great regard to the conscientious local guides, fisherman, business folk, and agencies that look after this incredible resource.

June of 2009 was an incredible trip at Eagle and our clients averaged 61, yup- I said SIXTY ONE Eagle Lake trophy trout to the net each day! I had a guided trip that logged eighty seven (87) rainbows caught and released in a single day, with the slow trip being 32 ELT's. I logged thirty guide trips here last June and was reluctant to leave. It was surreal, and if you enjoy fly fishing for big bows on one of the most beautiful lakes in the nation, here is your opportunity to get in on the action. Eagle is my favorite still water destination-no question.

This fall looks to be one of the best ever at Eagle and we are going to be here again as we have done so for numerous years. We currently have openings for the October trip click on www.sierradrifters.com/EagleLakeCalifornia.htm for the details if you are interested.
