Fish Lake, Eagan, Mn

Welcome to Eagan, MN. We have moved into our new place here in town and it is pretty awesome so far. After Em and I got a general idea of directions down, we did some searching on the web and located a nice lake to try out. The lake was called Fish Lake, which according to the park information, was home to pike, walleye, bass, panfish, and bull heads. We had fun catching some bluegill and one of them Em caught was even brilliant blue. There was also a fella there who said he has some great luck with bass the night before a storm. Can't wait to get out again. Tonight is full of large hail producing thunderstorms, so we'll be hanging out inside tonight!

The city of Eagan put together a nice guide to the fishable lakes in the area which you can access here: Eagan Fishing

Ask About Fly Fishing!

I have found another great resource for fly fisherman. While recently stumbling the web, I found a web page called Ask About Fly Fishing, which is an internet radio station that features different fly fisherman every couple of weeks. These fisherman talk about all sorts of things including building your own pole, tying flies, and fishing through out different parts of the world. They also have a podcast available for download and an archive of all their shows. I have never used a podcast before, so I'm trying to figure it out still. If anything else it is something fun to listen to during long car trips.

Summary and What's to Come!

So the past week and a half I have been downstate visiting some family. While there, my girlfriend and I tried to catch some fish without any luck but did hear great reports of Steelhead fishing. We also did very well finding the elusive Morel Mushrooms; even sold a few pounds. But now the time comes for a change of scenery! I got a summer job through Michigan Tech and will be moving to Minnesota for the summer! So for the coming months I will be telling fishing stories from the wilderness of Minnesota. Hopefully it will be quite the adventure! I hope everyone keeps visiting and enjoying the site! Good luck to all of the fisherman of the Keweenaw and enjoy this wonderful weather!

Fishing in Michigan's Lower Peninsula!

After school got out, my girlfriend and I have traveled downstate to visit my family and among all of the stuff were doing, were getting to do a bit of fishing! Today we spent some time at the Mill Pond in Northport. We were trying to catch some stocked trout from a recent fishing derby. We also have tried to catch some fish in the local marina which included pike, steelhead, and a monster carp! Stay tuned, hopefully there will be news of a magnificent catch!

Updates!

I wanted to make a post regarding some recent updates! Now that I'm finally out of school I have had a chance to update a few things that have been nagging at me. First, I have updated the Fly Tying page with several more websites regarding fly tying patterns. Hopefully this can become a good resource for you. I have also updated the Lakes and Rivers page with a couple more descriptions that I hadn't filled in yet.

Book of The Week: What Fish Don't Want You to Know: An Insider's Guide to Freshwater Fishing

Found another neat book today. A brief glance through offered some really nice artwork and also some helpful tips on thinking like a fish to help improve your success while out fishing. Check it out!

Bites Still Slow to Come

Well as a treat to myself, being done with exams and all, I spent the afternoon doing a bit of fishing. It was fun even though it was not that exciting. However, I did get one nice surprising bite, but I lost it due to my over zealous response. Still being new at fly fishing, I chose to practice doing a few different casts. It is definitely different casting with the fly ride. Hopefully this warmer weather and this nice spring rain tonight will help to perk the fish up some!
