Questions about Eagle Lake....

[ILGreenhead]

1. Is Eagle a dark stained lake or clear or both?
2. What (specific) lures are typically hot in mid August?
3. What colors are typically hot for Eagle normally?
4. Is there a grocery store in Dryden or VB??

eagle has everything from gin clear lake trout water to coffe colored slop and everything in between.
within our reasonable fishing range we have clear to green with the water visability right by camp at about 2-4' depending on time of year and amount of wind.

there are grocery stores both in vb and dryden

if you go back through posts there will be numerous posts on recomended baits for various species and /or pop me back a post on which species you are refering to and i'll get right back.
