Greetings! So, crazy story. The provider of our internet and phone service (Tbaytel) at the lodge is the ONLY cellular network provider in Northwest Ontario. On Friday, Tbaytel experienced some “infrastructure damage” which has resulted in “complete service outages” for the entire northwest Ontario region. In essence, no one in Red Lake, Dryden, Kenora, Ear …
It got insanely hot up here this week. Like 90 degrees and no wind hot. Just the motivation I needed to up my swimming game. One of our younger anglers this week even timed my swim to the point and back. The time to beat is 23 minutes and 52 seconds. I know I’m faster …
Who is Mr. Timbit? Mr. Timbit = Timbit Town = Tim Horton’s Last Friday after I had dropped off all the guests and finished my run I headed to Tim Horton’s. A ritual of sorts. I stop in for my medium coffee and crank out some computer work for 1/2 an hour or so on …
Last week included 26 guests so every day was action-packed at the lodge. With that many lines in the water, good things were bound to happen. Kelby busted the 18″ mark on this fish and released it. Travis’ seasonal co-worker Jeff fished with his son Liam and dad Paul. They boated a 43″ northern pike …
A number of our guests have captured some incredible pictures of birds so far this summer! I thought we would share some of them with some fun facts. Bald Eagle: King of the jungle, so to speak. Although they are commonly associated with the United States, where it has served as the national emblem since …
The end of last week marked the halfway point for our weeks of guests. So we thought it’d be a good time to check in on our big fish stats and see how they look. What we found is impressive. There are a lot of numbers on this chart, so you may want to click …
We have a sweet new set up for the weekly fish-fry. Which is tonight by the way, wish you could join! A double-double if you will. Having larger crowds throughout the summer means more mouths to feed. Which means more fish to fry! Some of our guests decided it was time for an upgrade. We …
Rewind a few weeks to the 4th of July. Our “off-week” if you will. We had the pleasure of introducing our good friends, the Mavros, to Eagle Falls Lodge. This family has become very near and dear to our hearts since we moved to Illinois. Our shared love of sports, good food, laughter, running, Mario …
Am I right? Not that there is a distinguishable feeling between the work week and the weekend up here. Typically its more of an ongoing weekend vibe for everyone, but after last week’s bonus challenges, we are ready for sure. Also, smores. Always. Cosmos certainly embraces the weekend and is happy to relax and enjoy …
It has been one heck of a week my friends. Sometimes all you can do is take another deep breath and eat a bowl of ice cream. As we finish out this week, I thought I’d share some of the lessons we have learned as of late. 1. When Travis tells you that the brakes …
