Our next group of guests have arrived and have begun their annual adventure on the Eagle. This group is comprised mainly of veteran anglers who have fished the Eagle for many years.

With them this year is a rookie who has never felt the thrill of having a salmon on the end of their fly line. Well it didn't take long. He didn't start fishing until after lunch and before Dinner he had hooked his first Atlantic Salmon.

He told me that he had always heard about this trip and was anxiously...

The last day for our departing group was a great day! The river is now in healthy condition with cooler water temps and high water. Last night, was productive with good fishing action reported in many pools. "The Slick", "Sandbar", "Broken Rubber", all produced multiple salmon and grilse yesterday evening. Back River is now fishing and the bathtub is nothing but a white foam where our boats were anchored last week!

For a little switch-up yesterday afternoon Dwight took 3 guests out in...

We are greeted this morning by cooler temperatures and a partially cloudy sky. This should help lower the water temperature and increase fish activity.

The water level is holding steady for the past day or so. With no major precipitation in the forecast this trend should hold for the next little while.

Yesterday showed a slight increase in fish being hooked. Some of our guests had their best day of the week yesterday, and they are anxious to start their last day with us for this season.

Next weeks guests should have very favorable fishing conditions as their visit coincides well with the lunar cycle.

A prime time rod space has just become available. An unforeseen circumstance has forced a guest to cancel so this is a great opportunity for somebody to snag a rod space from July 27th-Aug 3rd!!

Contact Dwight today at dwight@prattfallslodge.com for more info or to book the space.

Well, as predicted the water level has continued to rise. Over the past 2 days we have seen the river come up about 16 inches (40 cm) and this trend may continue for the next day or so.

Our anglers are still having success catching fish, but at a slightly lower rate than we typically see this time of the year.

Catching fish on a rising river is always a challenge as fish tend not to hold in the pools for very long. This is further complicated by the fact that we have seen a seal in the river. This is not an unusual sight, but it usually happens in August.

The guests are still persisting and today's early fishing has already been successful. We expect that they will continue to have success through out the day; and are anxious to get a report from our guides after they test the waters in Back River for the first time this season.

With the amount of rain that has fallen on the Eagle River Plateau over the past couple of days the river has once again began to rise.

We noticed that it has risen about 2 - 3 inches (8cm) since this morning and know that this is only the beginning.

Rain on the Eagle River Plateau typically takes 2 days to reach us here and there has been quite a bit of rain there in the past couple of days.

I expect that we will see quite a change in water levels when we look at the river in the...

It is pouring from the heavens here on Eagle this morning, and the forcast for the entire Eagle drainage basin has an estimated 25-35mm of rain in the next 48hrs with showers to follow. That is great news! It should bring the river back to normal water levels again and make some of our high water honey holes, like 'Back River', fishable!

We seen a mix of action yesterday, with the evening ending off in great success. Guides reported that a fresh run of fish hit the river on last night's...

It's been a busy couple of days around the Lodge.

With the departure of our last group of guests and the arrival of our new guests things have been quite busy.

Our current group consists of 6 returning guests and 6 anglers who have never fished the Eagle River before. We know that they will have a great week.

Already the newest guests are catching fish. Everyone is anxious to go back on the river tomorrow.

The water level on the river is staying constant for now, and with rain in the forecast; should rise to normal levels before the end of the week.

Well thankfully the river is still rising.

It has come up over 10 inches (25+ cm).

This is great news and with showers every day in the long range forecast the river should get back to normal levels, or at least maintain current levels.

Fishing activity has been consistent with fresh fish moving into the river with every tide.

All our guest are very pleased with their experience One of our guests who came here once before has mentioned several times how much the camp has changed with the improvements made by the current owners.

As I predicted earlier in the week our rookie anglers have all landed fish.

This once again confirms that the combination of our experienced guides and the abundance of fish migrating upriver, make angling on the Eagle River an unforgettable experience.

We awoke this morning very pleased to see that the river has risen ever so slightly over night. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Guests and Staff were treated to a beautiful Dinner of Barbequed Salmon yesterday evening. Several of the guests provided Grilse for the meal.

To say that it was delicious would be an understatement. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. Now wipe the drools off your chin while I give you an update.

The fishing is improving quite a bit, even thought the guides...
