Greetings from up north! Travis and I made it up to Red Lake last week and monitored the ice situation for a few days before boating into the lodge from the back end of Parker Lake. Everything at camp is up and running! It was incredible to watch the ice melt off of Red Lake …
Hey everyone! Travis and I are taking a mandatory vacation in Windsor, Ontario this week. What the heck is a mandatory vacation, you ask? This one came about after we were informed that the Transport Canada rules had been changed, requiring us to have a commercial boating certification to operate the Eagle Falls Lodge barge. …
Hello everyone! We are super excited about our new t-shirt and hoodie design for the 2013 season. Travis encouraged me to let it be a surprise, but I can’t! We are impressed (again!) with the talent and service at Bigfish Screenprinting – a huge shout out to everyone there for exceeding our expectations! You can …

Children ages 16 and up require passports or passport …
Hello everyone! We are headed out of town at the end of this week to attend the Mid-Iowa Bass Masters’ annual event in Des Moines, Iowa. It is a Saturday/Sunday only show and it takes place at the Iowa state fair grounds. This is a great event for finding bargain tackle and equipment as well …
