Don't listen to dube he's just wants to live in eagle river to. I would probably keep driving to the valley, lower fire has been hit pretty hard and in my opinion not worth the time. If you can get permission from a land owner to cross through their yard upper fire is a pretty good little rainbow lake. I've fished it in the past unknowingly trespassing but had some pretty good action. If your dead set on lower fire try the flat out in front of the inlet stream on the old Glenn side of the lake, I hear guys catch a few pike in that area.
