only eagle lake trout (ELT) are stocked in eagle. its a fragile fishery, no other common strains of trout could survive there due to the extremly high alkalinity. one of the ELTs main courses is brine shrimp.
eagle lake trout are raised and successfully stocked in other less alkaline lakes though.
my drag was screamin.......those ELTs fight like no other rainbow can, that was one of nicest fish i have ever caught.
