Northern in the Eagle River area are hitting any type of spinner bait tossed
at them. Fish two to nine feet depths along weed edges. Plenty of action.
Muskies are starting to hit bigger lures in the Eagle River area. Toss a
Suzy Q, Suzy Sucker, Bulldawg or bigger bucktail and work the weeds. During
the day fish 8 to 12 feet of water, and towards evening fish shoreline
weeds, sandbars and humps in three to six feet of water.
Smallmouth are running deep in the Eagle River area. On bigger lakes fish
20 to 30 feet deep, over rock, hard bottom or gravel, particularly along
drop offs. Same method on smaller lakes, but you'll have to seek out the
deepest part of the particular lake * which may be 15 to 20 feet. Deep
running crankbaits and leeches (if you can still find them) are working.
Good action.
Largemouth are sticking close to structure (docks, brush piles, stumps and
weeds) in the Eagle River area. Fish with a minnow, crawler, leech, or
Texas rig in three to seven feet of water.
The panfish are in the weeds in the Eagle River area. Crappies are doing
best. Fish crappies, 10 to 15 feet of water, in the weeds, during the day,
and towards evening go shallower, and fish four to eight feet of water. Slip
bobbers are best, using a crawler, or Berkley Micro. Bluegills and perch
will also hit, but not as well as the crappies- - with the perch hugging the
bottom in 15 feet of water or deeper. The gills will be up and down the
water column like the crappies.
Walleye action in the Eagle River area is fair. Fish 10 to 15 feet of water
along weed edges, using a jig and a minnow or leech under a slip bobber.
The walleye are running somewhat small.
