update 5/31

after a great start of the week with numerous excellent catches and easy predictable fishing locations wed/thurs the walleyes seemingly scattered more to 2-4 fish quickly on a spot type of deal,then you had to move to find another pod of fish showing the bite was still on just the big numbers scattered most likely into a transitional movement from post spawn locations towards presummer feeding areas as water temps rose into the high 50's. thurs/fri a front moved in with east winds and rain.next week projected to be beautifull thru sun on with 70's temps which should put the patterns back together quickly. bas are now moving up but definatly pre spawn not bedding. trout both lakers on eagle and surrounding lakes connected to eagle as well as brookies/splake on remote lakes continue to be very active and consistant in depths from 10-30' and or at that depth over deeper water.
the best pike fishing has been on 4wd lakes with some fish 40"+. muskies are now spawwning as some pairs have been observed cruising together.
full to max camp next 4 weeks so lots of reports will be posted,keep tuned!
looking foprward to seeing everyone and for those starting to get the itch give us a call for remaining availablity,would be great to have you a part of camp.
