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 …

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 …
Oh boy. Today’s town trip was a doozy! So many things. I mentioned in this post how things were clicking perfectly along. How we were getting into a steady, predictable groove. And then I predicted the future and said I had about 10 minutes before something crazy would happen. (Sidenote: remind me to start buying lottery tickets, …
