Down to Discover: Fall Fishing

While some flock to our area for the fall leaves, we know there are plenty of you coming here for the unforgettable fall fishing our area has to offer. Start planning your fall fishing getaway and get ready for a reel good time.

Besides colorful views, the cooler weather brings out your best chances to catch walleye and musky. As the fish prepare for winter, their appetites start to ramp up, making this the perfect time to reel in a trophy catch. Bring your pals and explore the shallow areas where the water is warmer and rich in vegetation. Some fall favorites include Eagle Lake for musky and North Twin Lake for walleye, but the entire Eagle River chain offers plentiful fishing spots. And if you’re looking for some expert advice, we recommend hiring a guide to take you out on our lake families.

After a successful day on the lake, keep the fun going. Eagle River is the perfect spot for more fall activities like scenic driving tours, cranberry marsh tours, and fall campfires. Stop by a brewery like Tribute or Riverstone Brewing Company or fill up one of our local bars and grills serving up delicious food and award-winning old-fashioneds.

So, gather your gear and head up north to discover the thrill of fall fishing.
