Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Get your boat inspected early—the inspection station doesn’t open until 8:30 AM, and waiting could cost you the best bite window. The first 40 minutes after launching were full throttle!
Changes We’re Seeing
Kings are active and aggressive, but not very big yet. Rainbows are mixed in, and Eagle Lake trout are showing up as well. Fishing pressure is low, giving anglers a solid shot at quality time on the water.
Predictions for Next Week
With the bite already on and pressure still light, expect king fishing to get even better as fish continue to school. If that RV Tackle lure goes public soon, it's going to be a game-changer.
