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, …

Bob & Dean had some challenges last week. The depth finder in their boat was only working intermittently which is tough when you are trying to learn a new lake. On one of the occasions when the finder was cooperating they found a nice mid-lake hump to try. After each catching a fish on their …

It was only a matter of time, I suppose, but this morning was an Eagle Falls Lodge first (at least for us). Here is a run down of how things SHOULD have gone… 4:30 – My alarm goes off, I stumble out of bed to turn on the coffee and get cereal/toast/etc out for the …
For those of you that like to fish with leeches, don’t plan on buying them in Red Lake this season. Red Lake Marine and TJ’s Quik Stop have both indicated they are currently out of leeches and don’t plan to resupply this season. You can’t transport leeches across the border so your best bet will …
