The water level started to rise a little yesterday. We are not sure that this trend will continue or not. This will be determined by the amount of rain that fell on the plateau. With the forecast showing little more in the way of precipitation.

Our anglers have had some success raising, but fish don't seem to want to fly very well. This may be because of the rising water.

Although fishing is more challenging due to the abnormally low river conditions most of our new anglers have had...

Well it appears that the rain that we having been looking for all season has arrived. There has been precipitation recorded in Goose Bay for the past 20 hours. I have no way to determine how much rain has fallen, I only know that it is recorded as light rain. Unfortunately it is too late to make much difference to this year's guests. The level of the water is staying constant with no noticeable change in the river.

Our anglers are having mixed success. All have seen fish, especially in...

The water level did increase very slightly; but only for a very brief period. The 4cm gain disappeared again within hours. Fortunately there is more precipitation in the forecast.

Our departing anglers enjoyed a fantastic evening. Everyone in the group spent the evening fishing together. I saw 6 of our 9 anglers playing fish and a nice 4kg salmon released on pole rock. Most of the fish that evening were taken on dry flies, and of course our veteran was having a blast.

Our youngest angler...

We finally have had some rain recorded over the Eagle River Plateau. When I looked at the weather conditions for last evening and today I noticed that there was some precipitation for 12 of 24 hours. Unfortunately I have no way of determining how much only that there were periods of light rain showers and other periods with rain and a thunderstorm with rain.

With the dry conditions I am sure that the ground and trees will take a good portion of it, but hopefully there will be a slight...

Well; we still are experiencing low water levels. The forecast is calling again for rain but only about 10 cm. This will not give us any significant increase in water levels, but we hope that it will keep us from losing any more and maintaining what we have now.

Our one well seasoned veteran angler in the group is hooking numerous fish every day by using his knowledge of the river and where the fish will lay.

Although the water levels are making the fishing more challenging than normal our...

There is some relief in site in the Goose Bay forecast over the next few days. It is only showers so we are hoping that somewhere within those showers will be a few good downpours in the Mealy Mountains and the network of string bogs and brooks that feed the mighty Eagle. The river is still dropping but it has slowed to the rate of less than an inch a day.

Many of our anglers had success yesterday. One experienced angler fished hard yesterday and hooked 9 fish, and one of our beginners...

Our water continues to drop about an inch a day but thanks to cold nights the water temps are still in the mid 60's which is very good. Our anglers are catching some salmon and grilse but the action is slow due to the water level. Our experienced anglers are still having multiple hook ups a day while our beginners are finding it more challenging.

Yesterday, Dwight took 6 of our guests to North River in Sandwich Bay for a day of Sea Trout fishing. And what a time they had! The trout were...

Although we have low water conditions our anglers are being successful. In the first evening half of our anglers have hooked fish.

One of our young anglers who had his first salmon fishing experience just two years ago has remembered his training and was successful in landing 2 grilse during his first evening of fishing. His Father and Brother were also successful and landed fish.

This afternoon I had the pleasure to witness one of our new group of guests who had never fly fished before...

We are still experiencing low water levels for this time of year. The river is almost a full meter lower than this time last year. On the positive side of things, the river has remained at a reasonable temperature thanks to some very chilly nights we have been having.

From the recorded weather information we cannot see that there has been much in the way of precipitation. Our access here on the river is limited to the information that we can find online. One of the guides who lives in...

No doubt about it the water level is abnormally low for this time of year. We have seen it much lower but a dry July month has brought the river down to 1.6 meters. More and more fishing is being done by wading now than we usually do.

But, despite the tough conditions, Eagle is still producing for our guests! There are plenty of cool deep holes with fish and they are taking fly. Not the numbers that our guests are used to (Eagle has them spoiled, haha!) but they are still averaging 2-3 a...
