The 2015 season was over for us quite a few days ago. But we made time for one last adventure to chase the elusive muskie before departing this fall. Many of you are aware there is a chain of lakes southeast of the lodge where muskies have secured the upper hand and are the dominant …
The lodge won’t quite look the same next season. That’s because we installed our first solar panel this fall before departing! That’s right, the lodge is now harnessing the power of the sun. This project had been on the wish list for some time. This panel produces about 240 watts of power. The panel controller …
If you visited us this summer then this isn’t surprising news. But we thought it’s worth noting we completed our boat upgrade! The entire Red Lake fleet is now comprised of Lund 16′ SSV boats. The SSVs have plenty of features that we love. The walkthrough in the center makes it easier to move about …

As I mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to share our experience of going to the walleye tournament weigh-in on Saturday a little more in-depth. Typically, this tournament takes place the weekend we are bringing in our last group for the summer. Travis and I are usually busy picking up and orienting a full …
Today was the first day of the Red Lake Fall Classic Walleye tournament in town. Phil and Kyle were up extra early to head in for check-in and be ready for the 7 am start. I didn’t make it up to see them this morning, but we did go into town this afternoon to watch …
The end of the season always catches us off guard it seems. This morning we dropped off our last group of guests. CAN YOU FREAKING BELIEVE IT? Fifteen weeks have gone by. Poof, just like that. I would be lying if I said Travis and I haven’t been looking forward to the quiet and ease …
