I used to be a regular there making several trips per year. Usually a week or two after the opening weekend in the spring then typically two trips in the fall and early winter.
I also learned a lot about the lake from Jay Fair. So fortunate to have fished with him over the years.
I have not been up there since just before the drought years and a lot of the usual reports on fishing boards have been absent in the past few years. That's probably for the best as Eagle really didn't need the extra fishing pressure during those times. Nature tends to deal Eagle a tough hand in general but the added abuse that it takes at the hands of the ranchers and various agencies is really discouraging. It's a fragile ecosystem up there that really needs sensible protection.
Maybe it's time to check it out again this year.
