Water Levels Dropping
Posted 12 August 2015, 10:25 am NDT
The river has stopped rising and the water level is now what it was 2 weeks ago when we had tremendous success.
It seems that there are not as many fish taking the fly. There are fish seen in pools all over the river, but they are hesitant to fly.
That being said, our anglers are still having great success. The 9 anglers that we have at camp for our last week are still averaging more than 2 fish per day. Last evening saw us record 100 fish for 4 1/2 days fishing.
I know that there may be anglers out there that find it hard to believe the numbers, but as we have always said, "When the fishing is slow on the Eagle it is still usually better than it is on most rivers when the fishing is good."
There is some precipitation in the forecast for the next couple of days, but it should not affect the water level for the remaining couple of days that our guests are here. TG
