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 …

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, …
Ever wondered what an entire pallet of maple creme cookies looks like? Now you know! And knowing is half the battle. Earlier this month we received our summer supply of maple creme cookies. We have to take a roundabout approach to securing this many cookies. The cookies are manufactured in Canada, but to get this …
There was a special birthday yesterday at the lodge and it wasn’t Travis or Cosmo. Which leaves… Happy Birthday Carrie! Celebrating a birthday is tough at the lodge. There are really no days off. You can’t sleep in or make dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant. Carrie has also suffered through a few lodge “presents”. …
Meet Neela: Last week she and her family made their first trip up to Eagle Falls. And boy am I glad they did. We became fast friends, partly because Neela reminded me of myself in so many ways. Partly because we both have good taste. Right, Neela? I don’t want anyone to assume I am …
We are back with the answers to our “Camp Life” true/false quiz. Check below to see how you did. Spoiler alert: some of them were kind of trick questions. 1. Travis found a lonely baby goose in Martin’s bay. When he came back and told me, I begged to go back for it and adopt …
