EAGLE LAKE AUG 1 FISHING REPORT-ANDY MYERS LODGE

AFTER A WELCOMED COLD FRONT THIS PAST WEEK WATER TEMPS ARE NOW BACK DOWN TO 70-72 SURFACE FROM A HIGH OF 80+ FOLLOWING A WEEK OF 90+ DEGREE HEAT WITH LITTLE OR NO WIND. WITH THE COOLING DOWN AND WINDS MIXING UP THE WATER COLUMN TEMPS ARE UNIFORM DOWN TO ABOUT 26’ AND DROPPING DOWN TO 58 AT AROUND 35’. WE ARE NOW IN EXTENDED 70’S AND NICE COOL NITES SO WATER TEMPS ARE STABILIZING AT HIGH ACTIVITY LEVELS AND MOVING FORWARD THROUGH AUG INTO SEPT. IF YOU ARE BOOKED OR ARE CONTEMPLATING A TRIP IT IS SETTING UP TO BE AND COULD VERY WELL BE SOME THE BEST FISHING OF THE SEASON TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO.

THOUGH I KNOW FEW WHO ENJOY 90+ DEGREES FOR DAYS ON END IT WAS EASIER TO TAKE WITH THE FISHING REMAINING VERY GOOD EVEN THROUGH THE HEAT WAVE WITH THE WALLEYE BITE EXCEPTIONAL AT 28-35’ AND MUSKIES MOVING VERY SHALLOW IN BOTH NUMBERS AND ALL SIZES. NOW THE FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT AND WIND HAS STABILIZED WATER TEMPS AT OPTIMUM ACTIVITY LEVELS THE BITE REPORT ESPECIALLY FOR WALLEYES HAS TO BE ELEVATED TO EXCELLENT STATUS. JOHN GILLESPIE WITH WATERS AND WOODS TV SERIES WAS HERE LAST WEEK AND SHOT A WALLEYE SEGMENT ON A 95 DEGREE DAY WITH DANNY AND JULIAN IN LESS THAN 3 HRS WITH NUMBERS OF FISH 24-32” FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A 48” MUSKIE ON THE WAY BACK IN. DAY TWO ME AND JULAIN TOOK OUT JOHN AND GERRY CARIOU FROM NW ONTARIO’S SUNSET COUNTRY TOURISM ORGANIZATION OUT FOR THE FINISHING TOUCHES OF A GREAT SHOW WITH 20+ MUSKIES UP,BOATING 2 MORE MID 40’S FISH AND OPPORTUNITIES AT SEVERAL 50”+ FISH THAT WERE SO CRANKED UP WE JUST COULDN’T SEEM TO KEEP EM’ HOOKED UP. AS IS TYPICAL OF THE FORMATT AND POLICY OF OUR SHOOTS AT AML TO SHOW WHAT IT IS IN REALITY AND WHAT IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE ON THE PREMIER FISHERY OF EAGLE LAKE, THE SHOW WAS SCHEDULED TO BE SHOT IN JUST TWO DAYS AND ONLY BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE SPECIES NOT 4-6 DAYS AND CONDENSED INTO 20 MINUTES AS IS THE CASE WITH MOST SHOWS. IT WILL BE AIRED AUG 8 ON FOX NET AND NORTH, COMCAST, AND WFN AMONG OTHER VENUES LISTED AT WATERS AND WOODS WEBSITE. CHECK OUT VIEWING TIMES TO CATCH IT AND IF YOU ARE BUSY DURING SHOW TIMES BE SURE AND RECORD IT OR SEE IT ON VIMEO VIEWING IT 2 WEEKS LATER FOR AN ACTION PACKED SHOW OF CANADA’S NW ONTARIO FISHING AT AML.

WHILE BY FAR THE MOST CONSISTANT AND PREDICTABLE WALLEYE PATTERN IS REEFS, HUMPS, POINTS AND THE HARD BOTTOM TRANSITION AREAS OFF THEM AT 24-35’ IN MAIN LAKE BASINS OF PORTAGE BAY, VIKING, DEADMANS, AND BIG EAGLE BASINS, WITH LINDY /CAROLINA RIGS AND BIG MINNOWS JOHN DEMONSTRATED ON THE SHOW AGGRESSIVELY SNAP JIGGING KALIN FLUKES WITH BAIT RIGS ODD BALLS AND DARTER HEADS EVEN AT 30’+ WILL PRODUCE BIG WALLEYES ALSO AND ON PAR SOMETIMES WITH LIVE BAIT. WALLEYES ARE FULL OF CRAYFISH RITE NOW SO JIGGING ORANGE/BROWN JIGS WITH CRAWLERS AND OR BOTTOM BOUNCING SPINNER RIGS WITH CRAWLERS WILL PRODUCE GOOD CATCHES TOO.THE PM MID LAKE SUSPENDED TROLLING BITE IN THE GILBERTS STRETCH, PORTAGE BAY, AND VIKING BASINS IS STARTING ESPECIALLY DURING WARM, STABLE, LITE WIND PERIODS. WITH THE COOLER AND MORE NORMAL WATER TEMPS SOME EXCEPTIONAL WEED BITES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS OF LATE WITH JIGS,MINNOWS AND PLASTICS AT 8-14’. WHILE THE NUMBERS OF EATERS AT JUST BELOW THE SLOT 16-17 ˝” IS HUGE THE PURE NUMBERS OF FISH SLOT AND OVER 22-28” BEING CAUGHT RITE NOW IS INCREDIBLE AND 28-32” FISH ARE BEING BOATED DAILY IN CAMP.

THE COOLER WATER TEMPS HAVE ALSO STIMULATED A MORE CONSISTANT BIG PIKE BITE ON THE REEFS WHILE FISHING WALLEYES. JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD AT WRITING TIME TODAY AND PERFECT EXAMPLES FROM JUST YESTERDAY ARE THE MAJERUS GROUP HAD OVER 80 FISH OF THEIR 150+ FISH DAY WITH DANNY 24”+ WITH MANY 25-28”,THE WAGNER GROUP WITH BRAD HAD SIMILAR RESULTS WITH 100+ FISH TO 27 ˝” PLUS NUMBERS OF PIKE 35-39” . QUITE SIMPLY I WOULD PUT THE NUMBERS, AVG. QUALITY SIZE, ALONG WITH THE TROPHY POTENTIAL ON EAGLE RITE NOW ESPECIALLY WHEN FISHING WITH THE AML PRO STAFF GUIDES WITH/AGAINST ANY FISHERY IN NW ONTARIO, BAR NONE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

THE HOT WEATHER AND RISING WATER TEMPS INTO THE HIGH 70’S, LOW 80’S MID JULY THROUGH EARLY LAST WEEK MOVED MUSKIES VERY SHALLOW FOR THE MOST PART USING BOTH ROCKS AND WEED BEDS. ROCKS AND ISLANDS WITH WEED PATCH COMBOS ALONG WITH SHALLOW MID LAKE REEFS HAVE BEEN THE MOST CONSISTANT PRODUCERS OF BIGGER FISH ALONG WITH ROCK WALLS PREFERABLY CONNECTED TO WEEDY BAYS OR WITH DOWNED TIMBER. ONCE WATER TEMPS REACHED 80+ ACTION WAS CHARACTERIZED BY MANY 15-25+ FOLLOW DAYS WITH MANY LAZY FOLLOWS OR FISH ROCKETING IN THEN GIVING UP AND 90% OF ANY POSITIVE ACTION OCCURING AT BOATSIDE AND CATCHES WERE DOMINATED BY 40-48” CLASS FISH WITH THE OCCASIONAL 50”ER. NOW THAT WE WENT THROUGH A COLD FRONT AND WIND AND WATER TEMPS HAVE GONE DOWN THE # OF FISH FOLLOWING HAS DROPPED BUT MORE FISH ARE HITTING OUT ON THE CAST AND THOSE CHASING ARE ENGAGING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY AND MUCH MORE POSTIVELY AND AGRESSIVLEY INTO BOAT SIDE MANUEVERS WHICH EQUATES AND HAS RESULTED INTO MANY MORE CATCHES. ALSO # OF BIG FISH SHOWING UP HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. LAST WEEK 7 FISH 50” + HIT THE NET IN CAMP. BLADES FOR THE MOST PART HAVE DOMINATED ACTION THOUGH TOPWATER ESPECIALLY DOCS AND JACKPOTS HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR FISH AS WELL AS SOME DAWGS, MEDUSSA’S, AND CRANKBAITS OFF THE ROCKS AND SUICKS IN THE WEEDS. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY ONE SECTION OF THE LAKE HOTTER THAN ANOTHER RIGHT NOW OTHER THAN ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS BASED ON DAILY ENVIROMENTAL INFLUENCES AND MAKING INTELLIGENT CHOICES AS TO WHERE TO BE ACCORDING TO SUNLITE INTENSITY, WEATHER,WIND DIRECTIONS,ETC..

IT APPEARS AND PREDICTIONS ARE AS WE MOVE INTO AUG AND SEPT WE ARE SETTING UP FOR SOME OF THE BEST AND BIGGEST FISH ACTION OF THE SEASON.
