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. …
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 …
(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 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 …
Fridays are a day of mourning around here. All guests are generally bummed to be loading up and headed home. Cosmo is bummed to see all his best buds leave. Travis is bummed because he is stuck at the lodge cleaning cabins and boats, dumping scraps, and turning everything over for the next crew. …
I betcha didn’t see that coming did ya? Last week we brought back the Eagle Falls Olympics for the 7 kiddos at camp. They didn’t think it was a BAD idea. What’s that you say? You thought the Olympics weren’t until 2016? Well, Brazil has nothing on us. Our Olympics had a fierce line-up of …
It appears 2015 could be the year of the smallmouth bass. Here is how the smallmouth count has evolved on Parker the past few years: 2009 – 0 2010 – 1 2011 – 4 2012 – 6 2013 – 25 2014 – 86 Ben with a smallmouth last season So far in 2015 we have …
