Eagle Creek Reservoir is approximately 1,350 sq acres (5.5 sq km) in size. It offers a variety of fish species, including Brown, Brook, and Rainbow Trout, as well as Small-Mouth Bass. Additionally, it also may be possible to find Landlocked Steelhead Trout in this creek. DNR dumps close to 50,000 walleye in this lake every year. It has been stocked with walleye dating back to 2000, and maybe even before. Also just in 2013 the DNR added musky to this lake. Anyway, even though Eagle Creek has so many walleye stocked year after year, it still isn't the states best walleye fishery. Catching the walleye in this lake takes some precision work. Eagle Creek Reservoir, from what was researched, is definitely in the top 5, if not the best, white crappie lake in the state. Research shows most of the crappies are in the 10'' - 12'' range, but you'll still find smaller ones too. Fishing for them is fairly easy if you know the basics of crappie fishing. Finding the bass is pretty easy using the same tactics you'd use on any lake. Some tips for fishing at Eagle Creek include using a Texas rig with a weightless trick worm. Using a bump retrieve and being ready to set the hook. Using hard jerkbaits at points The only structure on this lake is either man made, or the banks. The banks offer a ton of downed trees, logs, hills, and drop offs. There are a lots of docks to fish around, and there is plenty of rip-rap banks. The downfall to this lake is that you cannot have more than a 10hp motor, which limits bass boats to trolling motor only. Boats must be 8-foot minimum, 26-foot maximum, with a 10 horsepower motor limit. Small canoes and kayaks can launch from the old boat ramp at the back of the Earth Discovery Center parking lot (must be portaged down the ramp, no vehicles). There is a $3 car top boat launch fee at the gate in addition to the regular vehicle admission fee. Boats with trailers must launch from the 42nd St. boat ramp (on Dandy Trail, south of the Eagle Creek 56th Street gatehouse). There is a $5 daily launch fee, or $20 annual passes are available from the park office. Winter boat storage is also available at the park.
