(I’m all the way up on my tip-toes in this pictures and I am still uber short. Sigh.) Here’s the deal. Travis’ brain runs a mile a minute and occasionally he shares a real gem with me. It takes my normal human brain a few seconds to catch up because I am trying to back …
Fishing was excellent again this week. The guys weathered a couple days of thunderstorms followed by a couple of hot and sunny days, but still caught plenty of fish. Matthew shows off an impressive 25.5″ walleye. Nels released this 25″ walleye. And this 25″ fish! Larry, Shawn, & Mike boated over 500 fish. Here’s Larry …
It’s mayfly time again at Eagle Falls Lodge. There was a significant hatch on Parker Lake mid-week last week. On cue, it’s about a week later and the guys are now reporting seeing some mayflies on Red Lake. Here is a mayfly next to a Canadian penny to give you an idea of their size. …
Hello again. This is a follow-up post from yesterday where we discussed how we take reservations here at Eagle Falls Lodge. Read more about that here.

Happy Father’s Day everyone! I wouldn’t be in this place today if it wasn’t for my dad bringing me up to Eagle Falls Lodge 20 years ago. I couldn’t get enough and was immediately hooked (haha, get it?!) Little did I know I was only 14 years away from convincing Carrie to buy the place …
It was a mighty fine week indeed! As Bob would say, “Fishing was terrible, just terrible!” Check out some of the awesome catches this week: Gary shows off a nice 38″ northern pike This contingent of the group came all the way from Arizona! Jack released this 39″ northern pike Tom held the …
We celebrated another birthday today at the lodge. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLE! And if you know me, you know I like an excuse to A. celebrate ANYTHING and B. bake a cake and C. try a new recipe. Check, check, aaaaand check. For some reason I had s’mores on the brain, so I wanted to try …
We had a guest experience a once-in-a-lifetime triple out on the water yesterday. Larry caught three northern pike all over 40 inches yesterday – all while fishing for walleye! It all started with this baby of a fish (42″): Larry was busy trolling for walleye with a night crawler and a harness when he caught …
Fishing continues to be very good and the title for season leader has changed hands several times in the last two days. Larry boated this 44″ northern pike on his first day to take over the top spot on the year. He also added a 26.5″ walleye the same day! Weed starts are up …
