Another good day Sunday on my kayak, 38 walleye and 8 pike.

Had a very good day on Saturday fishing from my kayak once we found the fish. 9 pike and 15 walleye. Buddy I was with caught about the same or more.

Caught 59 walleye between 3 of us in 3 hours. Good time catching and releasing!

No luck today, was out 2 hours trolling in various parts of the lake

No luck today, was out 2 hours trolling in various parts of the lake

How's the ice and is it still open?

I was out yesterday and the was still 20 plus inches of ice. I didn't see any of the orange cones. Fished 11 FOW lost a couple pike and caught and release a 20 inch walleye. Good luck.

Hey guys, anyone out in the last few days? I was looking to head on next week and I was wondering if the ice is still thick enough to drive on, plus the last comment has me curious. Thanks.

Anybody knows who and why put orange cones? And why are all trailers gone? Is it related to ice thickness?

I was out yesterday afternoon. Ice is good, over 20 inches. One decent pike.

Good morning just curious how the ice is out there today. Does any one have a report.

Just drove by there's guys driving on the ice in trucks and shacks there

Anyone have updates on how the ice is doing?

18" of ice on Sunday

Thinking about heading out tomorrow or Sunday but with this weather how's the ice been doing?

Ice Report: 18 in

Also the ice could hold a d10 bulldozer right now lol

Hey jumbo im just learning to catch burbot. From what i gather use a jig head with stinky bait. bounce it off the bottom when jigging. Night time they should come closer to shore.

Thinking of heading out tonight. Any tips for lingcod? I never caught one. As well is it safe to drive on the ice with an f150?

Tightline , how did you do?

Jumbo 444 my advice is try a different lake lol head north of calgary

Just pike last night no burbs

Hey Tbear... any luck last night? Thinking about heading out tonight... thanks!

How about perch folks? Any tips?please and thank you.

Thanks crazyjb, night fishing it right now. See what happens....

I fished there all last winter . Never seen one burbot ever

Anyone catch burbot here? I can slay pike and waleye pretty effectively now. Im looking for a new challenge.

I was going to drive out today from Calgary how is the trans Canada?

The guys beside us by the canel seemed to be doing pretty good. I guess just haven't figured what type of gear/bait to use at this lake yet. Was my first time out there

Fish are biting just fine I thought

I guess it doesnt matter what size of hole you drill if the fish arent even biting...

No

So suppose someone heads out to eagle with only a 6" auger. Would this person possibly have problems pulling fish onto the ice through said 6" hole?

Had a good day on Wednesday... three pike 7-8 lbs. green smelts..... 7-9 feet water. Ice16-18 inches

Why are you NOT Allowed to keep pike or walleye any more?

6-10' of water with green smelts works good for me.

Planning on heading out this week any suggestions how far out from shore i should go?

Lat: 51.014303, Long: -113.317751 close to this public hotspot, 20 yards closer to shore.

Ice Report: 14 in

Good to here TBear ...Where about were you out at Eagle .....? Saw some vehical tracks off shore a little ways ....Last weekend was Good 8" of solid ice

Ice is 14" already. Pike are big, 28-30"

Anyone gone out yet? How much ice?

Smelly Lake. Better off going to crawling Valley reservoir.

Is there anywhere to get an 18' Lund in there? And is there any good size pike out there?

4 hours, 6 pike 4 walleye. Fish just on the outside of the weeds in front of dock
View on Map

Watch out for glass at the north boat launch. It's OK though, needed a tetanus shot anyway. And the 10 walleye and 6 pike made OK!

Went there on May 27, 2016. Water was extremly shallow, lots of weeds and zero fish. Was there for a few hours and all I caught was a headache from the rank smell and seaweed.

Note that Eagle is now Zero retention on pike and walleye. Saw a couple guys get caught with 2 walleye and 1 pike. Remember to read and know the regs before heading out!

I'm eager to try here again when I can. Last June in about 4 hours we caught over a dozen pike and 8 or 9 good-sized walleyes (up to 24 inches).

The water smells bad.

Curious to know if this lake is good to fish or not ? Using a single seating pontoon.

Closed until May 8

Any luck fishing from shore yet this year?

Any launch access yet? Want to try out my new (old) boat

Definitely not safe to drive on. I watched the truck sink around 9:30 am.

Pulled my trailer off a while ago and kept seeing people driving on it till someone went through today. Been 15 all month give your head a shake

Truck went threw 250 ft from the boat launch towards to point 100 ft from the shore . Don't drive on this ice and avoid the hole were the truck went threw if your walking.

I was there yesterday ice is still safe to drive on. Fish officers are there measured my pike and walleye. They are out there to get creel numbers as of the new fishing year you will not be able to keep a walleye

Feb 26, ice 18"+ getting crunchy near the edges. Still driving on. Ice was doing some wicked snapping and popping today with all the heat. Fished around NW corner in varied from 9' - 12' of water. Seen some sonar action, but not much. No bite on minnows.

Out on Feb 23, fishing slow ice 19" solid, watch the edges and entrance as they are soft but the middle is still plenty thick!

Out to Eagle on Feb 9th, ice thickness was great 20 inches or more. caught lots of fish.

i want to check out the lake tonight and go for some walleye

Oh and I've seen fish and wild life here 3 times in the last 4wks so make sure your following the regs

Just a word of warning . I was out by the canal opening and the ice is super thin with water around it. The rest of the lake is 12 inch plus

Going here Saturday anybody have any tips where, how deep,and what lures work best for walleye never been here before any feedback be greatly appreciated

Going friday night just wondering hows the ice? People still driving on? Havent been here since before christmas

Ice Report: 20 in

Thank you!

Theres a boat launch by the tree farm on nw side

B&k - see my comment on Dec 19th

Went out today from 4am until 11am. Saw lots of activity on sonar but not a single bite. Moved around quite a bit and was using minnows and smelt. Max depth is around 12 feet, lake is shallow and fairly murky and it does have an interesting odour...

Can someone please advise how to access Eagle ?

How's the ice thickness?

Good for ice fishing, caught a 53cm walleye on a tube jig and chunk of smelt. Beer batterd it and had a great dinner.

Conservation never visits that lake

Hey Pinhead who you trying to protect by posting that?

Fish cops out there now

Fish cops out there right now.

went out RR 245 to just before the point. caught one pike at 25". people next to us caught one similar. slow all day.

Perfect thx a lot man %uD83D%uDC4D%uD83C%uDFFB%uD83D%uDC4D%uD83C%uDFFB

Yeah man. Smelts and minnows. They're both working. Smelts have been a bit better tho. Good luck out there. I'm heading out Saturday evening. If you see a white lifted Tundra, come say hi! ... And I've never got perch or ling in this lake. I'm sure there are the odd few kicking around tho. Everyone's driving out from the west boat launch. I'm pretty sure that RV park on the other side is gated off for the winter!

Any perch here? Which boat launch is everyone using? I know they make you pay at rv resort in summer

Really appreciate it Mitch. I'll be headed out to give it a try on the south end, never been that far. I assume you are using smelts like most everyone else?

And we got all the walleye at night

We were out on the lake just south of the boat launch half way between that and the point. About a half km from the boat launch. That is where we got all the pike. All the walleye were at the south end of the lake!

Mitch, what part of the lake are you fishing? I've been out 5 times this year and caught 1 pike...

Very tasty fish out of this lake cause they're feeding on fresh water shrimp. Did good here the other day. Landed 13 pike and 4 walleye. Plus missed a bunch!

Ice Report: 16 in
16-18 inches. 4 hrs no bites.

I caught a pike 67 cm. jan 4 and i eat it and it was excellent

Hi everyone, I have never fished this lake and judging by all the comments it appears the ice may be thick enough to drive on (as of Jan 3, 2016). Is this correct. It also seems as though the fishing is not too bad by a boat launch on the west side which I can see on Google maps (but it looks like it is near private residences?) And most concerning of the comments I read are the reports of smelly water...which leads me to presume your catch may not be safe to eat even though it says otherwise below. If anyone could shed some more light on any/all of the above I would certainly be very grateful. Thanks so much.

There were trucks driving high speed on the ice last weekend - also a few vehicles that were parked too close together. I drilled a few holes and the water seemed smelly. Has anyone eaten any fish out of this lake?

Lots of ice for driving on. 16-20 inches. About 30 trucks on the ice today. About 10 inconsiderate dbags zooming around on quads and sleds right past our holes

Ice Report: 7 in
Good fishing. Not enough to drive on in my opinion

Put a few evening hours in, 13in of ice,caught a 25" pike, 16" walleye and lost one other,good times got cold quick tho!

Hi, it has been a while but I'm pretty sure there is a boat launch here, you can park on the side of the road and should be able to walk on the ice. Not sure of the depth. It is a pretty shallow Lake. Range Road 245 (51.009613° N 113.330371° W (WGS84)) https://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.009612613,-113.330370646

Anyone have ice depth, and location of west access, I've only ever been through eagle lake resort ?

Whats the latest ice conditions? Want to bring my 3 year old this weekend want to make sure its safe

The fish are still ok to eat according to cbc when they did a report about the algae. However you need to fillet them properly and don't eat the skin or organs. Don't think I would eat them on a regular basis but a fish dinner is to good to pass on sometimes.

I see mixed reports. Some say you can eat the fish. And some say you can't. So what is it? What agency can I call to get the right answer? Any credible information would be appreciated thanks!

Yes. But there is a slot size. Not sure you want to eat them though.

Are you allowed to keep the waleye in this lake? It says your allowed 3.

Sunday straight out from west side access point 50 yards off shore.

Anyone been out to check ice thickness yet ?

Thanks for the info

Nothing but big walleye and pike in there when you can catch them

Ya you can head down the nursery road until the end. There is a boat launch on the left and no one lives in the house there so you can fish all the way around it.

Hey, was thinking about trying this place out , however access to this lake is a complete mystery. Do you go down eagle lake nursery road ?

I am planning to go for fishing coming weekend. is it possible to fishing at the shore without boating?

I've been here three times in the last two weeks and the water is dirty but the fishing is still pretty awesome. Got a bunch of walleye last time and some nice pike. The biggest walleye was 25 inches and the biggest pike was close to 10 lbs!

http://calgaryherald.com/storyline/if-youre-planning-on-swimming-in-eagle-lake-near-strathmore-avoid-the-algae-unless-you-want-a-rash-sore-throat-fever-or-diarrhea

Well, this explains alot about what i said. http://calgaryherald.com/storyline/if-youre-planning-on-swimming-in-eagle-lake-near-strathmore-avoid-the-algae-unless-you-want-a-rash-sore-throat-fever-or-diarrhea take caution fellow fishermen/women!

Was out camping here. Decided to try fishing the lake. Like skunkd said, full of weeds, and it was really hard not getting snagged in weeds anything 10 feet or less fow. Water was really mucky and green, barely any visibility in the water and it stunk. I tried fishing anyways. I decided to launch from the west launch and it was a pain in the butt to launch my trailer and boat since it's so shallow! I fished for 3 hours with only 3 nibbles and I'm not even positive if they were bites! Might be weeds! I saw 4 other ppl fishing but didn't see a catch. I suggest spending the extra gas and go to pcr or cvr for consistent fishing! (If you're in calgary area)

Was out tonight with the boat, cruised the whole lake, tried several different lures, didn't get even a nibble. Maximum water depth was 15', most of the shallower waters were full of weeds. Green and smelly. Can't believe there's decent fishing there.

Landed a ton of pike and walleye here on Sunday. Heading back there after work tonight with the boat ... Look out for the Ass Tracker :)

West side free boat launch. Can fish from shore and catch pike and walleye. Good if you have chest waders to walk around the shoreline.

Caught 11 pike here in under 2 hours on my boat, casting with a 5 of diamonds in 2014 season.

It's not open for fishing yet... Good thing you didn't find a spot

Went out to the lake today. Could not find a place to fish from shore. Most of the spots i found were either slushy or private properties. Is there any place to fish from shore.

Thanks Mitchyd. All the best for the season.

I never fish from shore there. It's too shallow for the most part. Unless you're on the south side where the rock wall is. It drops off more and there's an inlet there that I usually do decent at for both walleye and pike. The spot where I do best for walleye is out of casting reach and by some pretty swampy shore on the west side. Just down from the west boat launch.

michyd where do u fish the walleye??

Thanks Mitchyd. I thought so. Last summer I got only pikes and the previous summer got 2 walleyes about 24". Any good spots for walleye from the shore?

No I never got anything other than pike or walleye out of Eagle. The walleye get pretty decent sized out of there. Got lots over 20". The biggest one I got was 27", close to 6 pounds. I never caught any walleye in the winter, only pike! If you want ling, I reccommend McGregor or Ghost Lake at night time! And for perch, Burnstick Lake is alright!

Hi Mitchyd Have you ever caught perch or bubot in this lake? We ususally catch pike alone. Thanks

It's best in June trolling Rapala's or twister tails with minnows. We got our limits a lot last year. I even caught a 40" pike by the rock wall on the south side of the lake. It was weird cause the only ones I ever got out of there were like half that size lol

Daryl: I agree.. I drive an extra hour to crawling valley. Much better.

It's nice if you like stinky green water . It is best in winter when it doesn't smell...... As much

Is this lake nice to fish?

Eagle lake is closed for fishing until May 7. Not sure about the Ice.

Anyone know if the ice is off yet??

Ice Still thick.little Slush on the top at places. Caught one pike 27"long from 5-7.30pm, used smelts. Is anyone catch perch or burbot here?

Ice still 24". Caught 10 pike from 12-5:30, using smelts.

Going saturday any updates on the lake? Thickness?

Okay day today . Got 3 of the eyes and 2 pike. But water was gross. Stunk like cow shat and very dirty. Tried eating them and they tasted like they smelled. I was in the civic

Here on Sunday and it was busy. Water is murky and only saw one guy catch 24" pike all day Ice is 27"

Can anyone tell me how to get to the lake when the camp ground is closed? What road do I take for Public accesss

Wondering if the lake experienced a partial summer kill? With above average summer temps and the algae this year? Anyone catching much?

Went out saturday 10-3pm two bites no fish really slow day 18in of ice

Anyone been catching?

Ice Report: 19 in
Drilled 10 holes ice thickness was the same at each hole. Water is really milky with lots of fresh water shrimp.

Has anyone actually caught burbot here?

Noticed a lot of feed in the lake. Every hole I drilled I found small pinkish shrimp things. No idea what they are, but the fish must be feeding on them, because they are everywhere.

Ice Report: 14 in
Ice thickness seemed consistent at 14 inches all over the north part of the lake. Couldn't find any fish even though I checked five locations in the span of five hours.

Anyone catching walleye in here?

How's the ice?

went out today didn't catch anything, just checked the depth of the ice it was about 7 inches to 12 inches in some spots inconsistent. Some people drove near shore but I wouldn't head out to far off that, I drove on it to but only on shoreline

Went out today

Ice Report: 8 in

Any one know when the lake is safe enough for ice fishing?

Went there cause you can keep walleye but water is so browse and has the blue green algie now I gotta wash all equipment used and 're- line my reel not impressed

There are some good spots to fish of shore iv landed some big pike with spoons out of that lake much to my suprise . If theres weeds run spoons with weed gaurd ! Iv caught all my fish in 3 feet water or less . In weeds . I would not keep them tho

So as I was saying early this morning we fished from Shor and there to many weeds u defiantly need a boat for this like 1 star for scenery.

At eagle lake. It is mine and my buddy's first time fishing here going to go for any kind of fish this lake has to offer will be adding hot spots wish us luck will be here all day.

My wife hated the murky water. It was a bright sunny day minimul wind used a boat and caught nothing after 6 hours 4pm till 8ish. Seen a guy catch something near the boat launch. Lots of cattle and grain farmers run off but that was it. Who knows what kinds of fertilizers are draining off the fields into the lake...dont want to go back. Heard, seen and smelt cattle while fishing.

We went there this morning took range road 245 didn't find the right spot to do fishing

Great little lake. We have caught pike every time we have gone. Either beside the boat launch or on the south side. Shore fished every time. Used big weedless frogs and big spoons and had great luck.

Divine, there is a campground that opens by the lake in July, I am pretty sure it has good lake access, if you camp.

Useless lake unless you have a boat. With a boat, I bet you would have great luck.

will be going sometime this weekend will let ya know how we make out.

Looking at taking my girls fishing this weekend, is there anyplace to fish from shore here?

Lake opens May 8

Can you fish year round?

Good pike fishing! 6 landed many many more bites!

Hello I was wondering what works best for walleye for lures bait ? I have good luck with Pike but would like to catch a eye I catch and release .

3 Hours on the ice and nothing biting today. Still had fun with friends though. Maybe next time?

water was cloudy ,couldn't see more than 2 feet, one bite in 3 hours,

First time fishin eagle today.Did a lot of walking around to find changes in water depth. Ended up icing three nice pike and missed a few more on sw end. C&R

Your report of big walleye with a gross growth is alarming. I remember reading a report years ago on Eagle Lake water contamination & pollution. I remember even swimming was not recommended let alone eating the fish.

I was fishing off the boat launch to the right about 1 km down the lake on the west side, was a big walleye and nice pike. Ive never seen walleye out of that lake before, and it had a gross growth coming out of its gill, but was 7lbs...shes still in there for others to catch, good luck. Usually I go to crawling valley for walleye or Mcgregor lake

Two keeper pike no walleye

I want to catch walleye! We fished right where everyone drives on the lake last weekend and caught 4 pike. We were using orange jigs with a glow in the dark head. What were you using? What end of the did you fish on?

Caught my first walleye out if that lake today was 7lber! Took my pics And through her back, caught 6 keeper pike to, great day, thick hard ice, almost 2 feet thick

Ice is over 2 feet thick. We drilled 6 holes, very safe to drive on right now. Caught a small pike, and another fish (line broke). Were using spoons to jig. Great day out, we were only there for a couple hours. Saw 4-5 other vehicles out there.

Anyone go out over the weekend? Ice still safe to drive on?

Where can I drive on to the lake?

Can you put an ice hut on the lake here or is there some sort of regulation regarding permeant shelters? Any info appreciated as I am having trouble finding info on this online. -boots

Caught several Pike today with a medium jig and small minnows. Sat it just off bottom jigging slowly. Really have to be patient, the take was really soft

What kind of fish

Ice Report: 18 in
Need to open approach. Full of snow drifts, lake itself has 4" of snow

Lake has 18" ice, snow at banks too deep. 4" snow on lake. Caught 6, 4 keepers, lost 8 more. Light bites. Pay close attention. Be patient, Let them grab then set.

is there enough ice to drive on the lake. Imagine it is packed with snow,

A HotSpot Marker was added for Eagle Lake (near Strathmore)

Where do I fish for burbot and walleye and pike on the lake

Just a heads up to everyone, the house by the boat launch you are not allowed on the cement wall. The home owners are very upfront about that, not sure what the law is about that but didn't want to start any trouble. She said she paid out of her own pocket for the wall & says its her property. Too bad, the fishing is good there!

Great day out with kids, 2 eyes and 5 pike. Boat launch is really shallow!

4lb eye in front of rv resort 12 fow

Anyone catching perch here?

How do the walleye taste. I'm a little concerned with all the nearby farm land & apparently I heard rouner that the town of Strathmore was (or is) dumping treated sewage in it. Any truth to the story?

fished eagle to day..lots of trucks out there tried a new spot 1 75 cm pike, 1 56 cm eye and 6 pike to short...great day on eagle

22" walleye and 3 pike. :) Good day gooood day!

Headed out there now to see if there's actually walleye there. :)

Ifish turn north at eagle lake tree farm not a launch but you can get some smaller boats out from there. Anyone fishing lately?

Just wondering, do you have to use the boat launch at the campground or is there another spot to launch your boat?

Anyone ice fishing here?

Fished all day yesterday and no luck. Tried everything we had and not even a bite. Very hard to put a boat in at campground low water

Caught them all close to the rv park in 10 feet of water

Yo mama ...if you don't mind me asking where abouts did you catch the majority of the fish?

Fished there for two hours caught 5 walleye .3 keepers

This lake used to be great but its been pillaged these last couple years. Please practice catch and release to help the numbers climb back up

No worries just don't like guys getting in trouble for simple mistakes

Fished it on the 13th just got around to putting the data on line This doesn't allow you to change your dat

Might want to check the regs Eagle closed on the 16th

1 walleye and 8 lb pike One broken rod big one still swimming

Fished for 4 hours 2 pike Ice about 18 inches

Three of us fishing half a day 6 pike one 10lbs

I a fished their all day on the east side and never cuoght anything

Fished all day one 6lb pike Nice day to be outside

Fished it on Saturday January 21st from 10:00 am to 12:30pm without a single bite. Almost 2 feet of ice, water was very murky, couldn't see the bottom. Was on the west side about halfway down. Spoke with a couple of guys that were on the north end who were there before i got there and they never got a bite either.

Hi all, I was thinking about heading up there on Saturday. Anyone know if it's worth the trip? And any tips on what I should be using for bait? I'm still a little green in the ice fishing department

Well I got a big 3 puond walleye

Went dec 20 cought a six pound pike

Planning a trip this weekend any one ice fish this lake

Anyone catching perch? This winter?

Spent a few hours there, caught a decent pickerel and some pike

fished in eagle lake on may 9/2011 in boat. water is very dark and murky. you can only see your lure for 12 to 14 inches deep. casted everything in the box, and even used bait. 8 hours on the lake and no fish for either of us(two). dont use your only day off this week on this lake! nice to get out on a lake again!
