The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) provided some preliminary results from the Broadscale Monitoring (net survey) that occurred in August 2014. We are patiently waiting for more detailed information to be released at a later date on other species, but the initial look at the walleye population in Red Lake provided some great news! Some …
A 2014 guest shared an assignment with us that his son completed in school. It was a writing assignment and he chose to write about his trip up to Canada and Eagle Falls Lodge. I asked if I could share it on the blog, because it is my new favorite thing. Here are the front …
For those of you that like to fish with leeches, don’t plan on buying them in Red Lake this season. Red Lake Marine and TJ’s Quik Stop have both indicated they are currently out of leeches and don’t plan to resupply this season. You can’t transport leeches across the border so your best bet will …

Fishing continued to be productive this week despite a slow couple days after a heavy mayfly hatch on Red Lake on Tuesday & Wednesday. Walleye were biting in 6-12’ on Parker Lake. Some fish appear to be transitioning to the main lake on Red Lake. Early in the week fish were hitting in 8-14’ in …
Next month the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) will be doing some netting on Red Lake as part of a long-term program to monitor the health of Ontario’s lakes. Red Lake is one of 140 lakes being sampled this year. The work will be conducted between August 5th – August 22nd. If you are visiting …
Meet Jeff and Andy Zwieg. This father/son duo is from Wisconsin and they love to fish. Most people who visit the lodge enjoy fishing, but these guys take it to another level. You have probably seen their name all over the catch & release boards at the lodge. Or you possibly saw them on TV …
