The Northern Pike fishing proved excellent last week on Red Lake as evidenced by the pictures below. We saw the biggest two pike of the season – 45″ and 43.5″. We also saw the 3rd 29″ walleye of the season released, resulting in a three-way tie on the leaderboard. I haven’t had time to compare …
A common question we get here at the lodge is “Does Cosmo get to go out in the boats?” The short answer is NO. This is because he tends to jump right out. With absolutely no warning. I mean zero. You can be cruising across the water at 20-30 mph and bloop, right off the …
Alright, you’ve tried lindy rigging and hopefully pinned down a nice school of walleye. What’s next? While you can certainly keep lindy rigging, we’ve found several repeat passes will eventually spook the fish off a spot. Our favorite way to catch walleye once they have been located is to jig fish. So cut that lindy …
Everyone wants to catch as many fish as possible during their trip. We don’t get out fishing as much as we’d like, but being immersed in a fishing camp all summer provides plenty of valuable knowledge. My fourteen years of guest experience before camp ownership don’t hurt either. So what’s the first thing to do …
Week 12 is in the books and there are only three weeks left in the 2016 season. That’s pretty hard to fathom. It’s also funny when you find out last week you hooked up one of the sinks backwards in the spring so hot water was coming out of the cold faucet and vice versa. …
Last Friday Travis took me on a killer date. Which is a feat for a Friday evening, considering everything else we typically have going on around here. Every August, Ear Falls hosts the Trout Forest Music Festival, a weekend full of live music, camping, good food – all right there in Ear Falls. Ear Falls …
It’s that time of year again. How about a boat naming contest? That’s right. We’ve been busy enough this season to add an extra swing boat to the fleet. This boat will get a dose of both Parker and Red Lake and allow us to have a 9th boat in position for each lake. This …
Can we talk for a minute about how there are only 4 weeks left to the 2016 season?!?!?! This is nuts. And to top it off, it is in the mid 60’s today. Fall is right around the corner, my friends, whether we are ready or not. We had a nice mix of veterans and …
There’s a saying that there are two seasons – winter…and construction season. That’s never more true than in northwestern Ontario. Summer is definitely construction season and road crews work hard to repair winter damage in the few short months where work is possible. Guests are reporting some minimal construction in Fort Frances along highway 11. …
Here are some pictures from last week’s crew. We had some really nice fish caught and released. If your picture isn’t on here, please email it to us! Austin with a full stringer Del wrangled this 8″ walleye. This fish likely hatched out last spring. Lynne with a nice 25″ walleye. Austin let this …
