May your Christmas be wrapped in love and joy, just like the gifts under the tree. We appreciate your support, and may the coming year bring you even more success! Happy holidays and a Happy New Year!
Our 2023 season was full of great guests, giant fish, and, most of all, everlasting memories that will last a lifetime! We completed several upgrades here at the lodge, which included the addition of two new boats and motors, allowing our guests to have access to their own boat on both Parker Lake and Red Lake, purchasing a new refrigerator for the upper rooms of our two-story cabin, completion of our new gazebo area with the purchase of a Blackstone griddle. Finally, we upgraded our internet service to Star Link!

Thank you again for your continued support of our Catch and Release Conservation Policy. This helps protect our fisheries now and for future generations. To further promote our current catch and release efforts, we are proud to have established our Catch and Release Replica Program, designed to reward our guests’ efforts in releasing trophy-sized fish back into the water to fight another day. We are excited to announce that the 2023 season produced over sixty Master Anglers, all caught and released!
The Holiski Family wishes you and your family a wonderful holiday season and hopes the New Year brings you good health and is filled with many more memorable fishing stories.
Your hosts,
The Holiski Family
