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!

Beauties... I mean the fish you guys... The McMaster girls had back to

R and I will begin booking spring 2012 trips soon after the New Year. If
you are interested in being put on a direct invitation list, please fill
out a trip request form and designate “Eagle Lake spring 2012”.
Many of you have been waiting to get my trip dates
for Eagle Lake this year and I wish I could give them to
you at this time. Eagle has suffered through this dry
period and I would like to hold off announcing the
spring 2012 trip dates until February when we get a
better picture of how the lakes condition will be. The
issue will not be the historically excellent fishing
this year; it is accessing the lakes main body to and
from the marinas and launch ramps with our large fish
magnets. Let’s hope Eagle gets clobbered with rain and
snow soon so we can look forward to another epic spring
here.

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!
The Eagle Lake RV Park is offering special discount
rates on spaces and dock rentals-mention promo code N11011 to get

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.

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.
