2016!?!?! It’s still June of 2015!!! Give us a break!!! I know, I know, I should just appreciate the current moment and live life to the fullest now instead of gazing longingly into the future. Why spend your time thinking of the unknown? But, alas, I married a very calculating, level-headed, long-term planner who wanted …

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 …
We celebrated another birthday today at the lodge. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLE! And if you know me, you know I like an excuse to A. celebrate ANYTHING and B. bake a cake and C. try a new recipe. Check, check, aaaaand check. For some reason I had s’mores on the brain, so I wanted to try …
We had a guest experience a once-in-a-lifetime triple out on the water yesterday. Larry caught three northern pike all over 40 inches yesterday – all while fishing for walleye! It all started with this baby of a fish (42″): Larry was busy trolling for walleye with a night crawler and a harness when he caught …
Fishing continues to be very good and the title for season leader has changed hands several times in the last two days. Larry boated this 44″ northern pike on his first day to take over the top spot on the year. He also added a 26.5″ walleye the same day! Weed starts are up …
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 …
Fridays are a day of mourning around here. All guests are generally bummed to be loading up and headed home. Cosmo is bummed to see all his best buds leave. Travis is bummed because he is stuck at the lodge cleaning cabins and boats, dumping scraps, and turning everything over for the next crew. …
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 …

Check out their website here. You can submit entries online after setting up a free account or mail them in. Fish …
