Fish reported from Eagle Lake northwest of Sly Brook Lakes include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown bullhead, cusk, lake trout, pumpkinseed, white perch, and yellow perch.
For panfish at Eagle, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed, and fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.
For brown bullheads at Eagle, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout at Eagle, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout.
For deep-water fish at Eagle, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and jig or troll a spoon or minnow-shaped lure in cold, deep water for lake trout. Also at Eagle, fish a jig or natural bait on the bottom in cold water or after dark for cusk and use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Follow smelt-sized baitfish with spoons for salmon and togue, fish cool shallow spots for brook trout during spring and fall, and jig shelves for perch.
On a first trip to Eagle, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.
Keep a light jigging rod ready for perch even when salmon are the main target, because the broad flats give anglers a useful second plan when trolling slows down.
Spring at Eagle is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer fishing is usually better in cooler, deeper water. Fall at Eagle can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Eagle, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon and togue.
Fish movement through the year can follow connected water and baitfish rather than stopping at one place near the bank.
A small bottom jig on a shelf best fits yellow perch.
