Hello from Red Lake! Our first guests this week are already catching several nice Walleye in the 22-26″ range on both Red Lake and Parker Lake. Also five Northern Pike between 35-42″ were caught yesterday alone. Both species are biting shallow in 5-8′ of water. We weathered a large storm last night and the lakes …
The ice went out on May 10th and we are busily preparing for the season. The camp wintered fairly well for the most part. There are some repairs to be made still, but we plan to be ready for the first guests next weekend. Thanks to fast shipping from Cabela’s, out new boat seats arrived …
The excitement is building as the 2011 fishing season approaches. We’re less than a month away and patiently waiting on the ice to melt in the Great White North. This year isn’t going to be a repeat of the record setting ice out we experienced a year ago. Hugh Carlson from Viking Outpost measured only …
This summer check out the West Red Lake Mining Museum. We found out about the site last fall from our friends Dan & Brenda at Bow Narrows Camp. It’s definitely worth a visit if you find yourself fishing the west end of Red Lake. Directly after traveling west through the West Narrows, hang a left …
Now that you’ve built your lindy rigs, you’re ready for tactics on the water this season.

By purchasing a few “ingredients” and following these simple steps you can customize your own rigs for much less. Here’s what you’ll need to get started: Sharp size 6 octopus hooks – you will …
I know a few of you were able to make it out ice fishing this winter, but for the rest of us spring equals the start of fishing season. Before you head for the nearest water, check out our list of recommended equipment to give you some ideas when you find yourself in the middle …
Hello everyone! Just wanted to remind you all that Eagle Falls Lodge will be at the Mid-Iowa Bass Masters Sports Show in Des Moines, Iowa this weekend. It is located in the 4H building on the Iowa State Fair Grounds this Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 26 & Feb. 27) You can find more information on …
I’m amazed by how many people have expressed interest about spending time at the lodge during the winter months. Sure, the ice fishing is terrific as long as you don’t mind chewing through 36″ of ice and snowmobiling is a blast when you have 3-4′ of the white stuff. But don’t forget about the cold! …
Hello everybody, We are finally enjoying a warmer day here in Illinois. A balmy 45 degrees, but you’d think it was 70 out there. I sure as heck didn’t wear my coat when I was out running errands. I’m sure I speak for most when I say “come on spring!” Here is a picture of …
