Eagle Lake ~ Now Booking Fall 2010 Trips!

 

video from our spring 2010 trip
 

 

Eagle Lake is without any doubt the premier rainbow trout still water in California.  The fish average 19 inches and weigh 2-3 pounds.  You can expect 23 inch fish on a daily basis with some 25 inch models to add on your trophy photo wall.  Eagle is the second largest natural body of water in the state.  The Eagle Lake species of trout are indigenous to the lake and have been planted successfully in huge numbers all over California.  Eagle has been managed by the Cal DFG as a trophy trout fishery and has special regulations to insure quality fishing during the season.  I hold great regard to the conscientious local guides, fisherman, business folk, and agencies that look after this incredible resource.   

Eagle Lake: Incredible as always!

Talk about Beauties... I mean the fish you guys... The McMaster girls had back to back doubles at Eagle...

I will be returning to Eagle Lake & will start booking trips on 9-21-10 with the last booking date to be October 14th. A rare slow day on Eagle is a great day on most lakes! The same price of $525.00 per day includes 1 full day guiding on Eagle Lake for 2 people. Lodging and all meals (including daily lunches/sodas) will be your responsibility. Please add $100 for an additional angler (up to three on the boats please). I will be staying and mooring the boat in Spalding. Gear will be provided as usual… you will need to provide your California Fishing License.

I am really looking forward to another great session on Eagle Lake this fall.  If you like large rainbows on the fly, Eagle is a wonderful place to fish.  Please call or email for availability soon as some dates are booked.

 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 Eagle Lake guides Ronnie Beck and Timmy Noxon.  Tell the friendly cover girls that work there I said howdy!

Where to stay:

http://www.eaglelakeandrv.com/ ~ Eagle Lake RV Park ~ Tell them you are booking with Sierra Drifters Guide Service.  If you don't have your own RV they also rent small cabins and trailers which are pretty cool.  These folks are super friendly and will take good care of you. 

http://www.eaglelakeheritage.com/ ~ Heritage Land Vacation Rentals: They have a bunch of rental properties and are good people we have dealt with a lot over the years. Susanville has great motels and good restaurants but you will need to drive about 45 minutes one way to get to Spalding.

High Country Inn in Susanville seems to be the favorite amongst the return folks and they are very well located for all your needs. (530) 257-3450.  There is also a casino/motel near Susanville and those that have stayed here love it.  Inexpensive clean rooms and very good food 24 hours a day. www.diamondmountaincasino.com
