Trout fishing has slowed down but anglers can still catch the occasional trout. With the warming water temperatures, anglers are reporting catching some trout with lots of copepods. This is common in Eel Lake this time of the year. Anglers should be careful of the large wild coho smolts that are still in the lake. There are no kokanee in Eel Lake and all coho salmon need to be released immediately.

Crappies and bluegills are feeding along the edge of the weedlines. Fishing will be best in the low light periods of the day. Bank anglers can find decent fishing off the fishing dock.
