I fished there this past Sunday. Water was like chocolate milk. Should be somewhat better now. I may try again this weekend.

sorry to hear that. i had a decent limit of fish, and it wasnt magic.lol

long line jigs down the west bank all the way to the north end following the west side of the channel. chartreuse or black/chartruse or yellow...or yellow/orange..hot pink...colors were always good to me on eagle creek when muddy.

I never use minnows long lining. Jig heads and Roadrunner spinners either 1/16th or1/8th oz. works for me depending how deep I want to go. Cast as far back is a good start and troll jigs from 0.4 to about 1.0 mph...in cold water,,,slow is better.

Anyone fish Eagle Creek over Easter weekend?
