History & Status of the Fishery
Minnesota DNR Fisheries IBI program staff conducted an assessment of lakeshore habitat on Eagle Lake on Jun 08 2022, following the Score the Shore survey protocols. The assessment consisted of 40 survey sites evenly spaced 200 meters around the lake. Assessments were made in three habitat zones: Shoreline Zone (the shore-water interface to the top of the natural bank), Shoreland Zone (land-ward from shoreline to development structure or 100 feet), and Aquatic Zone (lake-ward 50 feet of shoreline). The average lakewide habitat score was 75.0 (+/- 3.3) out of 100 possible indicating moderate shoreline condition. Approximately 40 percent of the sites were developed with a much lower mean score of 58.5 (+/- 5.0) compared to undeveloped sites with a mean score of 86.0 (+/- 2.5).

I've been fishing this lake since the 80's. The Lake was a great Bass/Northern lake... In the 90's it was hit and miss. My the mid 2000's the lake took a total dive... you'd be lucky to hit a 2 lb. Bass...and I've not pulled Northern out the lake in quite some time... My wife likes to go to the lake for Bluegill, but not many of eating size.... Eagle was a top 5 metro lake but now I would rather go to elsewhere. I think it just gets too much pressure and people take home fish that should be thrown back... used to be that if you caught a Bass over 4 lbs or a Northern over 8, it would be released; now people keep every thing.... No chance for the lake to replenish itself... might be one of the reasons fishing is dwindling here in the land of 10,000 lakes....

I had a lot of success ice fishing here this winter. I was on eagle lake about 8 times this winter. I fished the deep holes, but only caught small perch. I had the most success in the corner of the lake oposite the acceses. I fished in 5' - 9' of water near a channel and a house with a big rack of boats or canoes. I caught a lot of bluegills, with almost half being "eating size". I was not hard to limit out in a couple of hours. some nice northerns and a few nice perch there too. As a bounus, I usually got to watch a lot of deer crossing the channel.
