Fishing
Report: 2 lb. rainbows seem to be common with the odd
fish going up to 8 lbs. Trolling is the most popular method of fishing
on Eagle Lake. Fishing is good from the beginning of June through
the summer months (unless the weather gets too hot) and on into
the fall. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
Viewscape:
Situated among rolling hills which are heavily forested with Lodgepole
pine. 20 to 30 miles west of Eagle Lake, the Coast Mountains begin.
Shoreline:
Gravel and rocky beaches dotted with heavy dense alder bush.
Nearby
Lakes
Cochin
Lake - Cochin Lake, located just south of Eagle on
the Tatlayoko Lake Road. Branch east onto the Chilko Lake access
road for about 1 1/2 km. (1 mi.) and then turn north (left) and
travel about 1 km (1/2 mi.) to a BCFS campsite on the lake. Wild
rainbows that average in the 3 to 4 lb. range are usually caught
with trolling gear (especially with Hot Shots and flat fish),
but are equally attracted to flies. 10 pounders are not all that
uncommon, making Cochin a lake well worth visiting.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
