Eagle Island State Park has been around since before I was born. There was a single winding pond that people would fish and swim in. Recently, they expanded the park to be more like other state parks in Idaho. They added a camping area and a new 5-acre pond, specifically for fishing. The pond is still under construction, but it did open to fishing this year and has been stocked. Time to test the waters.

Thanks for joining me on my fishing adventures. I hope to see you again next week.
