Overall it was a down, up, and down year on the Eagle. Water levels certainly played a huge role in giving us a not so typical year! The Year started with low water, cool temps, and fantastic fishing. Our first two weeks of anglers had great success.

Then it poured from the heavens and while no doubt the rainfall was wanted and saved the river for the rest of the year, it made for some difficult fishing during what would normally be our absolute best weeks of the season. The water rose for...

Things have slowed down quite a bit in the past few days, but Eagle has still been providing some good action for the guests we have in now. The river continues to drop and we are turning to our top pools at Air Force side and Pratts to keep the action going. The flat boating section of the river is very slow. Temps hit the low 70's this week but seems to have cooled a few degrees today from the cool temps last night and cloud cover today. The best action over the weekend was below William's...

WOW! It has been a hot week here on the Eagle. The past three days have hit +30 degrees celcius and we all know that is not good for fishing action. Despite the bright days and hot temps, the Eagle is still producing good numbers. Our guests this week have been averaging 4-5 hooked fish a day. And it seems that the tides are bringing fresh sculls every morning and evening.

2 guests just came in from Diplomats and hooked 7 fish. 3 in 5 minutes so there was some excitement down there! In...

Well the water level continues to drop and the fish are still coming.

If the level of the water continues to drop as it has been it will be at the same level it was at last year during our most productive week. Add to this a continuing supply of fresh fish and a new moon approaching.

One of our regular guests who has been fishing the Lower Eagle for a number of years told me today that " this might be my best trip ever."

He has been one of the only anglers this year who has had the...

We were wondering when they would arrive as it is a bit late, but like the saying goes...better late than never!! The river is full of Maxi Grilse. Those right to the limit 62-63 cm fish that are shaped like footballs. Eagle is famous for them and every year we get reminded of why. They are incredibly powerful fish!

A new group arrived yesterday and they had a great start. The fishing yesterday afternoon and evening was very good. We are seeing a lot of fish, and the rises and takes are...

As the river keeps dropping to it's best fishing level the number of fish being hooked increases.

The last of our rookie anglers hooked 2 grilse yesterday and anglers had continued success despite the showers that persisted all day.

This was confirmed again before breakfast this morning with one of our anglers landing a couple of the healthiest grilse that I have seen this season. They were truly beautiful fish that were very thick down through.

This group of guests left this morning and we are looking forward to their return again next season.

Tomorrow our next group of anglers arrive and they can expect to have some hot action. Water level and temperature are excellent and there will not be as many anglers on the river competing for the pools.

Water levels continue to fall back to normal levels. The fish are still not holding well, but persistence and perseverance are paying off for most.

The lone experienced angler of the group is having much better success than the others, but this is not unexpected.

Williams Run will soon be fish-able again and Back River is consistent.

Our guests are enjoying the warm weather and many of the younger guests take a dip in the river each day to cool off.

Showers and thundershowers are in the forecast, but hopefully it will not effect the water levels too much.

Today we seen Eagle start to return to the success levels we expect this time of year. While the fishing is still not superb, due to the high water level it is picking up. The camp averaged nearly 3 fish per guest today. Not bad considering it was roughly 7 hours on the water and there are 4 first time anglers in camp! We have been spending our time helping them fine tune their casting skills and it is incredible to see how everyone has improved in just a few days. Rookies are always...

As the water level continues to fall the salmon continue to enter the river.

There are fresh fish coming into the river constantly, but they are not holding very long before they continue up river. It seems that you will only get a few casts over a fish before it leaves the pool and moves further up towards the spawning grounds.

One of our young guests had a memorable experience yesterday while fishing Back River.

He had hooked a nice grilse and was trying to get it into the boat. The fish...
