The water temperatures on the Eagle River Chain are 55 to 57 degrees depending on the sunshine that day. The weeds are starting to come on nicely with walleyes using both new cabbage and coontail. Most of the fish are being caught in 3 to 5 feet with a 1/16th oz jig and minnow combo. The speed of the presentation is crucial for maximum strikes on some days. Today we boated 30 fish in a combination of walleye, northern pike and even a largemouth bass.

Everyday should get better now, so come on up!
