Eagle Lake Fishing Report

Eagle Lake - Susanville, CA (Lassen County)

As of mid July the fish are still on the chew in the south end of the lake according to SD client and Eagle still water expert Phil Oliver. There are also concentrations in the deeper sections near Pelican Pt. Set up on the rocky points, or steep drop-offs in 10-14 feet. Fish deeper as the sun gets higher, or if it is glassy with no cloud cover. Water clarity is eroding quite a bit as the lake is in turnover. Goddard caddis and midges are the best patterns with some lingering callibaetis and increasing damsel fly nymph activity. Drifter's Agent Orange, blood sucking Vanderleech, and punk perch patterns are banging them right now. The broken back midges are also hot as a lower fly when the chironomids come off. I suggest you start out with Agent Oranges in the am, move to flashback Pt's or BB's and midges in the late morns/afternoons. The Eagle Lake RV Park has all my time tested guide patterns developed for Eagle and the Under-Cator strike indicator in stock. There is also a good selection of larger trolling flies that imitate the Tui-Chubs @ Eagle and have been used with good success by famous EagleLake guides Ronnie Beck and Timmy Noxon.
