First week on the river
Posted 25 June 2012, 4:10 pm NDT
3 days ago we ventured into the river to ramp up the camp for another season. Things are running smoothly and we are ready to welcome the first guests on Friday!
Eagle River, like all rivers in Newfoundland and Labrador right now, is very low for this time of year. We are all a little bit concerned for the fishing conditions later in July. Right now there are plenty of pools to fish and the water temps have been holding in the mid 60s. The 5 day forcast shows showers and chance of showers and we are hoping that it comes with showers and even hard rain for a few days on the Eagle's head waters.
Our guides started testing the water yesterday and seen a few fish and Nelson reported 4 rises. Our friend, Stewart, hooked a 10lber yesterday. Reports are coming from counting fences on neighboring rivers that fish are just starting to hit. Won't be long now and there will be lots of excitement!
