It is opening day here at Eagle Falls Lodge. Whether we are ready or not. I think Travis would agree that given the circumstances we did a bang up job. He also may be wobbly with slurred speech when you ask him. That guy. He stayed up all night getting the camp in ship shape. …
Well, since we are burning the midnight oil tonight I thought I would share this little gem from earlier this evening. Yeah, that happened. Lets recap, shall we… 1. We need boats on Red Lake so you can, you know, FISH 2. Mother nature dealt us a heavy blow, making 2014 the latest ice out …
Good morning folks. In efforts to keep it real on this blog, it is safe to say that today will be a long one. The ice is hanging on in all its frozen glory. So at 24 hours before our first guests arrive we have had no access on Red to bring in supplies, our …
No, the ice isn’t out yet. We were hoping to make a town run today, but a north wind has pushed the remaining ice on Red Lake to our shoreline leaving us boxed in. Hopefully tomorrow it will be out so we can get the barge out with some much needed fuel and supplies for …

Greetings from up north! We are well into our first week of Canadian wilderness and it is proving to be an adventure! We crossed the border last weekend and played the waiting game until Tuesday, when we decided to attempt crossing Parker Lake. We wanted to make it an honest challenge, so we waited until …
We’re across the border and on the way to Eagle Falls Lodge. We’ll be busy the next few days getting the camp ready for the 2014 season. Until we get all systems up and running we will be unavailable by phone. If you need to contact us, we’d recommend sending an email to eaglefallslodge@yahoo.com and …
Thanks to the Krohns for turning us onto the jig/plastic combo that wins Lure of the Year 2013 for us – the H2O jighead paired with B-Fish-N plastics. Together this combo produced consistent fish catching all year. Three features really make the H2O jig hooks stand out. The high-gloss epoxy finish is tough to …
