Hello All,

I'm heading up to Gordon Wisconsin the week of 7/31-8/5 and was wondering if anyone has fished Lower Eau Claire lake in Douglas County (I think). Any information you can provide would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Lower Eau Claire can be pretty tough to fish as it is really clear and there is not a ton of structure... That being said I would start with the weeds in about 8-10 feet. They are well in from the actual break in most cases so do not worry if you dont see weeds on the break in the 15-20' range... go shallower and you should find them. There is not a clear edge so you may have to do a bit of zig zagging. There is a mid-lake hump that can be good. I would try and catch it on an overcast day or in the evening if possible.

I have never fished lower but have fished middle. As mentioned weeds seem to be a good place to start. Try shallower sandy areas from dusk to dawn. Middle is also fairly clear and tough to fish. good luck. let us know how you do.
