Location: Maple Grove | I'm lucky enough to have to work tomorrow. However, I can sneak out by 3 so I plan on hitting eagle since it is very close to my work. I've never fished it before. Any metro guys out there have any tips? I don't need your spots just general tips. Also, if anyone knows the water temps too. Thanks in advance. |

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN | Eagle is small enough where you'll have more than enough time to hit the entire break around the lake in the time that you have (assuming you'll fish until dark). I've only fished the lake once in my life about 12 years ago. But you could do much worse than just working the weed edge around the lake. You'll have plenty of competition on the lake. Your biggest issue will be parking unless things have changed in recent years.
Good luck!

| Ive heard 'actually from a maple grove cop" last week that if you park across on the street next to the apt building that you 'could' be ticketed,, I guess they have gotten tougher on this |

Location: Maple Grove | I've checked out the landing and they have a street with a cul de sac for turning around and marked trailer spots along the side. Not many, but they are there. I would assume as long as I am able to park there I should be ok. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | It is a tight little landing but going across the street there were a couple parking spots designated, at least last fall. We only fished it a few hours, nice little lake you all have there. Papa Joe lives near by, maybe he'll get out with you, some? m |

Location: Otsego, MN | There is room for probably about 12 boats at the landing. Park in the Culdisac and you will be getting a ticket. Was out the other day and the water was 76. Ealge has probably the worst landing in the state in my opinion, its really tight and the people who use it most often have zero boat landing etiquette and it's a circus some days there. There was probably 10 boats muskie fishing out there the other night. The pressure on the lake is insane. |

Location: Maple Grove | Well, nothing to report. A few small pike was all we could muster. Didn't even move a fish. Saw some other muskie guys out there, anyone do any good? Got there at 3 with no problems getting in, plenty of parking spaces available. The lake appeared to begin filling up not long after that. Took a little while to get out with one ramp, but all went smooth. Decent displays of boat launch etiquette. When we left at about 9:30 there was a car parked in the cul de sac that had a ticket, so beware if you plan on heading that way.
Hooker-It looks as if it turns into a stream that empties into a pond just south of Bass Creek Park and just north of 63rd Ave. This is from looking at Google Maps. |

That stream (Bass Creek) connecting to said pond actually flows north and meets up with the outflowing stream of Eagle in between Home Depot and 694. Bass Creek then flows north, under 694, into the pond in the NE quadrant of 694 and Boone. I grew up fishing this creek and the connecting ponds, but never saw any muskie. However, I've caught just about everything else you can imagine. |
