Thank you!! It’s a cool spot. I was kind of hoping they would go for some bigger nymphs like stoneflies or bigger mayfly nymphs, but they wanted the teeny tiny stuff. Oh well!
Yep, the Eagle has been fishing really well for a few years! My only critique of it is that it can get crowded, especially toward weekends. I've experienced folks walking right up next to me as if I wasn't already there, acting like they didn't see me resting a piece of water and rerigging, mostly at a prime spot. Etiquette needs to be practiced!! I'm looking forward to floating some sections of the Eagle next year, doing some research over the winter. Glad y'all got out and got into some quality fish!
Honestly I didn’t even know they were present in that river until my friend caught one. But I do love whitefish - they’re usually big, fight well, and will eat my big attractor fly when the trout are eating size 20s 😂
Nice catch!

I can see the crowds part. There were a decent number of people there even though it required a multi-mile walk in.
Going after white fish?
