Eagle Canyon: , by Andrew Harris: 5 stars Guest report from Tony Carbonell from Red Bluff: "Eagle Canyon Trophy Trout Lakes is not just a fly fishing outing, it is an experience. The fish here are truly one of a kind. Not only are they colossal in size but their girth seems to be centered in their shoulders which truly give them an advantage over the novice angler. Bull runs and chasing fish down is not uncommon. If you want to challenge your fly fishing skills try hooking into one of the double digit size trout that reside in the two lakes. Pulled hooks, snapped tippet, broken hooks and even the occasional boot failure can result in lost fish. The fishing was truly incredible. Bring an assortment of gear. We used a number of different flies with a multitude of presentation techniques. We hooked most of our fish stripping steamers but also used small nymphs under an indicator and spey rod techniques. It is challenging, fun and a must do if you have ever held a fly rod." Newbie Malcolm with his first Eagle Canyon trout. Bill holding a nice fish. Guide Mat helped Tony land a beauty.
