History & Status of the Fishery
Eagle Lake is located seven miles north of Park Rapids in west-central Hubbard County. Eagle has a surface area of 424 acres and a maximum depth of 77 feet. A DNR owned public access is located on the west shore of the lake off US-71. Access is also available by small craft from Island Lake which lies to the north of Eagle or Potato which lies to the south. Eagle is a very popular lake for fishing and water recreation during the summer. Eagle provides angling opportunities for Walleye, and Northern Pike, and Panfish.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Eagle is in class 25. Class 25 lakes are generally deep, very clear, have hard water, and are irregularly shaped. Other class 25 lakes in the Park Rapids management include: Bad Axe, Belle Taine, Big Mantrap, Dead (Upper Ojibway), Island, Little Mantrap, Little Sand, Spider, Straight, Third Crow Wing, Two Inlets, and West Crooked.
Walleye abundance was in line with recent surveys, and above the management goal. Most fish were spread out evenly in size from 12 - 20 inches. A strong class of 7.5 - 11 inch Walleye should provide good angling in future years. Walleye sampled had an average length of 15.2 inches with fish measuring up to 27.8 inches. Yellow Perch, an important forage species for Walleye were sampled in low numbers but some of the largest were a suitable size for anglers.
Northern Pike abundance was up and was the fourth highest recorded number for all surveys on Eagle. Northern Pike numbers in past surveys have generally fluctuated in moderate numbers for this lake class. Anglers will find the Northern Pike population spread out from 14 - 30 inches in length, with around half of them from 18 - 22 inches. Northern Pike sampled had an average length of 21 inches and weighed 1.9 pounds.
Eagle supports a good Black Crappie population and angling for them is popular year-round. Anglers will find Black Crappie in the 9.5 - 13 inch size range. Eagle also provides good fishing for Bluegill and Pumpkinseed; with some nicer fish up to 9 inches.
Currently, no Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) have been identified in Eagle. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
