The NEW BOAT SEATS! For those of you who are still counting down the hours until you get to spend a week fishing with us, we thought we would give you a little sneak peak of what you will be riding in around Red Lake & Parker Lake. Oh yeah, those are high backs baby. …
This week Carrie and Nick Mateja both caught 27″ Walleye, creating a logjam on the leaderboard for biggest walleye of the year. We now have four anglers with 27″ fish. Ryan Rote added a nice 25″ Walleye out of Parker. Carrie’s fish is pictured below. Kari Marquardt also took the lead on the Muskie board …
The big fish records have been extended for the 2011 season. John Milkint edged out Bill Ray’s 42.5″ Northern (pictured above) with his own 42.75″ Northern. Both fish were caught on Parker. Mary-Jane Owen and Neal Sympson are tied for the lead with 27″ Walleye both caught on Red Lake. We dried out last week …
Hey everyone! A recent picture of Cosmo hard at work, good grief. At least he keeps himself entertained. Our second week just wrapped up and it was great! We had a full camp and several kids that had a blast getting out on the water and catching fish. The weather cooperated for the most part …
We welcomed the month of June with a tremendous thunderstorm that produced pea-sized hail. Two heavy storms have slowed the fishing some, but we expect a quick rebound as the weather outlook looks good for the next week. My brother Carson landed a 23″ walleye off a point near the lodge on Parker Lake shortly …

The ice went out on May 10th and we are busily preparing for the season. The camp wintered fairly well for the most part. There are some repairs to be made still, but we plan to be ready for the first guests next weekend. Thanks to fast shipping from Cabela’s, out new boat seats arrived …
The excitement is building as the 2011 fishing season approaches. We’re less than a month away and patiently waiting on the ice to melt in the Great White North. This year isn’t going to be a repeat of the record setting ice out we experienced a year ago. Hugh Carlson from Viking Outpost measured only …
