Several guests have been ticketed or warned for speeding on highway 105 on the way to or from Red Lake this season. The speed limit on the highways in Canada is only 80 kilometers an hour which equates to about 50 miles an hour. This feels excruciatingly slow when you are used to limits of …
The Parker Nine? Sounds like some kind of outlaw gang right? Well maybe an outlaw gang of sorts, but this is what we’ve dubbed the wolf pack patrolling the shores of Parker Lake. We had a wolf encounter in camp this spring during opening. We have also heard howling multiple times this summer at night. …
Cosmo here! Carrie and Travis asked if I would contribute to the blog again. Carrie said my fans had been asking for me, so I tried to rearrange me busy schedule to get it done. Speaking of which, I have been BUSY! It takes a lot of energy making sure Travis and Carrie are doing …
We had the wrong kind of visitor in camp last week. This little guy was getting into the trash on the Parker dock. After Carrie ran him off he pouted in the woods for a few minutes before returning and getting the roman candle treatment from Travis. He then proceeded down to the larger garbage …
Happy Independence Day everyone! What better way to celebrate than with a rock bass pic! We had our first rock bass sighting of the season. At least a confirmed sighting accompanied by a photo. If you look closely you can pick out the little guy in front of Michael’s shirt. This fish only measured 6.5″, …
Plenty more big fish caught and released this week! Travis’ brother Carson tracked down two muskies – a 32″ and a 30″. He added this nice walleye on Red Lake and snapped a photo of a pair of loons with a baby. Our college teammate Michael and his dad Glen caught several nice …
Happy Canada Day, everyone! We will be celebrating by eating nothing by maple creme cookies, poutine, and Labatt Blues. Can you imagine? Just writing that gives me a stomach ache, actually. It can be a bit of a bonus challenge heading into town on a major holiday like this. Most stores are closed and people …
You guys, this is getting serious. (Side note: check out Cosmo creeping in the photos) It has been almost 3 weeks of these little buggers hanging around. It feels like they fall straight from the sky like paratroopers. 24/7. All they do is eat and eat and eat. All the poor birch trees look like …
We saw several nice sized fish last week. Check them out! Tom caught a 34.5″ northern. Bill’s 24″ walleye Skip released this 24.5″ walleye. Bill caught several nice pike in the slot and over the slot like this 36″. Dennis landed this 40″ northern pike. Don tracked down this beauty – 28-1/8″ walleye to briefly …
How the heck is it already Friday? With a full camp and lots of fishing action this week, I really don’t know where time went. Summer is officially here. It is warm and sunny and Cosmo is quite pleased. This really gives him the optimal nap set up that he prefers. He just follows the sunny …
