We know you’re tired of hearing it. But we’re going to keep saying it. Let BIG fish go! In short, these fish lay thousands of eggs and are very important to the health of the fishery. We won’t bore you in this post with all the statistics, but there is a new page on our …
File this post under completely random. Mmmkay? First things first, up here in Red Lake we are in the midst of a big pressure drop. For those of you in the know, that can be rough on the fishing. Tomorrow the high is in the mid-50’s. Might dip into the 30’s the next few nights. …
A few weeks ago we had a very generous guest at the lodge. Well more than one actually, but I’ll get to that in a minute. Bob retired this past year and started baking custom order cakes and other sweet treats for family and friends. He has become quite popular in the Kansas City area …
We’ve bragged about this group before. They come with one purpose – to catch monster pike. By and large they exclusively use grandma lures to get the job done. Its a method they have proved works well. These pictures speak for themselves: Travis with a 36″ northern… ….and a 42″ northern: Charles got this 33.5″ …
You just had to click on the post after the graphic picture warning didn’t you? I don’t think they are that bad, but Carrie says she has been having nightmares and wanted me to warn everyone. This week we had an unusual catch. The guys caught and released a 36″ Northern Pike with an abnormal …
You might remember two years ago Carrie competed in her first triathlon here in Red Lake. She detailed her adventure here. This year Eagle Falls Lodge had a new representative entered in the event and no, it wasn’t Cosmo. This was the 25th annual race and it was commemorated with some sweet jackets. That’s …
For those of you familiar with the Eagle Falls Lodge menu schedule, you will know what is for dinner tonight. For many guests, it is their favorite meal during their stay at the lodge – its FISH FRY NIGHT! But what does that mean? First and foremost it means that people have hopefully been out …
This hen merganser duck has quite the little flock to tend to. Chris & Pete who took the picture said they were able to count at least two dozen ducklings, but zooming in on the photo I can see over 30. It is pretty unusual to see this many ducklings with one mama duck. Mergansers …

Coming to the lodge late in the season has pros and cons. We’ll get into that later. The purpose of this post is to inform you of an addition to the con list, which is the growing live bait shortage in Red Lake. We already informed you about the leech shortage here. Now the bait …

Happy Friday everyone! We just had about the best week ever – weather wise, company wise, and the fishing wasn’t half bad either! But seriously, can we hit the pause button? We only have four groups left. Doesn’t quite seem possible, does it? We had a variety of groups up this past week, …
