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 …
(Warning…this post has nothing to do with fishing) The 2nd half of the season got off to a bit of a rough start. Our computer crashed on Saturday. And our backup drive is sitting safely at our house in the great state of Illinois. It’s not so much of a transportation issue. The problem is …
The off-week is nearly over and it’s time to plunge into the 2nd half of our season. But before we do, let’s see what happened last week. We hinted about some nice catches when everyone hit Red Lake near the end of the week. Here’s what happened: Jack sports a 23″ walleye in this photo. …
How is it July 7th all of a sudden? What did we miss? Happy 4th of July everyone! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! We got to watch the women’s world cup final, which was super fun. We voluntarily checked out for a few days as we welcomed and entertained friends and family during our regularly scheduled “mid-summer break” …
Happy Canada Day! We celebrated here at the lodge with BBQ chicken and cream puffs. Cosmo celebrated with an extra nap. Our guests celebrated with a fun-filled day of fishing. The entire fleet was gone on Red Lake today. Check back in soon to see what was caught. An unusual sight in-season – completely empty …

Matthew shows off an impressive 25.5″ walleye. Nels released this 25″ walleye. And this 25″ fish! Larry, Shawn, & Mike boated over 500 fish. Here’s Larry …
It’s mayfly time again at Eagle Falls Lodge. There was a significant hatch on Parker Lake mid-week last week. On cue, it’s about a week later and the guys are now reporting seeing some mayflies on Red Lake. Here is a mayfly next to a Canadian penny to give you an idea of their size. …
Hello again. This is a follow-up post from yesterday where we discussed how we take reservations here at Eagle Falls Lodge. Read more about that here. As discussed yesterday, we give preference to people who are here this summer as to whether they wish to rebook in the same week for next year. One thing …
2016!?!?! It’s still June of 2015!!! Give us a break!!! I know, I know, I should just appreciate the current moment and live life to the fullest now instead of gazing longingly into the future. Why spend your time thinking of the unknown? But, alas, I married a very calculating, level-headed, long-term planner who wanted …

Happy Father’s Day everyone! I wouldn’t be in this place today if it wasn’t for my dad bringing me up to Eagle Falls Lodge 20 years ago. I couldn’t get enough and was immediately hooked (haha, get it?!) Little did I know I was only 14 years away from convincing Carrie to buy the place …
