Here are some various stats from the 2015 season. Enjoy! 22,500 gallons of rainwater pumped out of boats (our guesstimate) 4,985 pictures shared by guests 3,665 liters of diesel fuel used (hopefully less this year with solar power!) 945 fish landed in Travis’ boat $215 spent mailing lost and found items back to the states …
We know what you’re wondering. “Where have you guys been?!” Yeah, we kinda dropped off the map for awhile there. We both had a busy winter fulfilling our offseason job commitments and working on some house projects. We also spent months training for and competing in the Illinois Marathon this past weekend. Both of us …
Last week we found out that one of our most beloved guests of the lodge passed away unexpectedly. He was a good one – genuinely kind and selfless, with a great Wisconsin accent and smile. I was in Dave’s boat when I caught my biggest walleye to date. He was so truly happy for me …
So you may have noticed that the website looks…..different. We are in the middle of doing some redesign work and updating our server (I know it sounds SUUUUPER fun) so please excuse the mess. All the info is still there for the most part, but don’t hesitate to send us an email if something seems …
Its hard to believe Travis and I left Eagle Falls four whole weeks ago already. Its even harder to believe that Halloween is next week! The first month back is always a weird pocket of time. There is a lot of excitement to see friends and family, eating foods we have missed, see our house …

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 …
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) provided some preliminary results from the Broadscale Monitoring (net survey) that occurred in August 2014. We are patiently waiting for more detailed information to be released at a later date on other species, but the initial look at the walleye population in Red Lake provided some great news! Some …
