Carrie put her culinary skills to the test this past weekend and ended up winning the Bloomington Chocolate Challenge. She was awarded 1st place in the amateur division for her dish – Pistachio Chocolate Baklava. I can attest it does, in fact, taste as good as it looks. I cannot say whether or not this …
Topwater trolling is certainly an unconventional, yet highly effective, technique for catching Northern Pike.

Hello all! Can you believe it is already January 19th? Crazytown. In four short months we will be back north working our tails off (Cosmo already did this…ha!) getting ready to welcome our first group over Memorial Day.

Hello everyone, I am hear to tell you that we have two new rooms as of the 2011 season here at the Eagle Falls Lodge. Remember last year when we were attempting that crazy addition project that everyone (including myself) thought would NEVER get finished. Well, miracle of miracles they are done. We wrapped up …
The NEW BOAT SEATS! For those of you who are still counting down the hours until you get to spend a week fishing with us, we thought we would give you a little sneak peak of what you will be riding in around Red Lake & Parker Lake. Oh yeah, those are high backs baby. …
