We have a sweet new set up for the weekly fish-fry. Which is tonight by the way, wish you could join! A double-double if you will. Having larger crowds throughout the summer means more mouths to feed. Which means more fish to fry! Some of our guests decided it was time for an upgrade. We …
The crew last week had a productive week of fishing. The weather changed from hot (mid 80s) to cool and rainy by the end of the week. The rain continues to fall as we have now counted over 4″ of rain in the last three days. Mother nature is making up for a drier than …
Rewind a few weeks to the 4th of July. Our “off-week” if you will. We had the pleasure of introducing our good friends, the Mavros, to Eagle Falls Lodge. This family has become very near and dear to our hearts since we moved to Illinois. Our shared love of sports, good food, laughter, running, Mario …
Am I right? Not that there is a distinguishable feeling between the work week and the weekend up here. Typically its more of an ongoing weekend vibe for everyone, but after last week’s bonus challenges, we are ready for sure. Also, smores. Always. Cosmos certainly embraces the weekend and is happy to relax and enjoy …
It has been one heck of a week my friends. Sometimes all you can do is take another deep breath and eat a bowl of ice cream. As we finish out this week, I thought I’d share some of the lessons we have learned as of late. 1. When Travis tells you that the brakes …
(Warning…this post has nothing to do with fishing) The 2nd half of the season got off to a bit of a rough start. Our computer crashed on Saturday. And our backup drive is sitting safely at our house in the great state of Illinois. It’s not so much of a transportation issue. The problem is …
The off-week is nearly over and it’s time to plunge into the 2nd half of our season. But before we do, let’s see what happened last week. We hinted about some nice catches when everyone hit Red Lake near the end of the week. Here’s what happened: Jack sports a 23″ walleye in this photo. …
How is it July 7th all of a sudden? What did we miss? Happy 4th of July everyone! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! We got to watch the women’s world cup final, which was super fun. We voluntarily checked out for a few days as we welcomed and entertained friends and family during our regularly scheduled “mid-summer break” …
Happy Canada Day! We celebrated here at the lodge with BBQ chicken and cream puffs. Cosmo celebrated with an extra nap. Our guests celebrated with a fun-filled day of fishing. The entire fleet was gone on Red Lake today. Check back in soon to see what was caught. An unusual sight in-season – completely empty …
Quick recap: We lose a dock pin. Can’t find a new one. Travis orders super magnet to suck up the old pin. I question this method and bet him a week of breakfast duty for dock duty that it won’t work. I pick up super magnet from the post office. (For a more detailed recap …
