Our first guests of the year left yesterday and they all did very good. The frank Hansen group had the best fishing of all the 6 years they have come up, with Ralph Oestmann taking a big 32″ laker right by camp in the evening. Iwas sad to see Frank leave since it was the… Continue Reading

The fishing season started very late with the ice going out mid to late may. That means the trout started out scattered everywhere due to the cold water temps. Jigging was poor because the concentrations of trout were not there but trolling was working well with orange and gold spoons, diver vibes and small cranks.… Continue Reading
