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 …
It was a mighty fine week indeed! As Bob would say, “Fishing was terrible, just terrible!” Check out some of the awesome catches this week: Gary shows off a nice 38″ northern pike This contingent of the group came all the way from Arizona! Jack released this 39″ northern pike Tom held the …
Anyone who comes to the lodge in June knows Carrie’s birthday lands somewhere in the middle of the month. It’s easy for me to remember because it coincides with the highly underrated Flag Day! Flag Day would get a pretty poor seed in a holiday bracket matchup, but I digress. It can be a little …
I betcha didn’t see that coming did ya? Last week we brought back the Eagle Falls Olympics for the 7 kiddos at camp. They didn’t think it was a BAD idea. What’s that you say? You thought the Olympics weren’t until 2016? Well, Brazil has nothing on us. Our Olympics had a fierce line-up of …

Meet the Holiski family: They drive all the way from Colorado and Texas every year to spend a week with us. For those of you trying to calculate the amount of hours they drive, it is about one day more than I could ever stomach. They certainly earn their trip. Their “Fish On” family trip …

Now that the guys have had a few days to take the first crack at the fish, I have an update for you. Parkers has started stronger than Red Lake. Overall numbers have been good, but we’d still like to see more size. Greedy fishermen we are. The biggest so far have been a 22″ …
Thanks to my Uncle Terry you will notice some sleek measuring boards in the boats this year. He actually made them a couple years ago, but getting them marked up got lost in our lengthy to-do lists. This season we made some stickers to apply to the boards which conveniently end at 18″. A …
