Andrew's 38 inch lake trout

Everybody loves a master angler! This lake trout beat the minimum measurement for a master angler lake trout by 3 inches. Andrew caught a 38 inch lake trout. What a beautiful fish!

Trying out some Australian trout lures

Andrew is a return guest that hails from Australia. This year he was trying out some Australian Trout lures - Tasmanian Devil brand, made by Wigston's Lures. I think they had a lot of fun with them, and managed to catch a few walleye and pike while they were at it!

Great fishing (and shore lunches) with buddies...

Jeff is having a good week - several master anglers, a 12 pound lake trout, a 17 lb pike, and some awesome shore lunch of blackened walleye with friends. He took some great pictures that he's sharing with us.

Fabulous trophy pike for Linda - a new personal best!

Lee has known these two couples for a long time. They are great fishermen and a lot of fun to have at the lodge. Linda got her own personal best - a 45 inch pike, and you can tell they ate well at shore lunch every day. They enjoyed some great walleye fishing!

The Griffin Brothers had a great time!

These brothers had a great 4 day visit on their fishing trip. They were the nicest guests to have here. They had a great time fishing and made sure to post the pictures on facebook so that their family could see how much they were enjoying themselves. I love the smiles! Gene's pike measured 41 inches - a master angler, and I think the bunch of walleye were heading for shore lunch. Fresh fish is the best!

3 generations enjoying the fishing

I love seeing families fishing together. This is a group that has been coming to our lodge for many years. This year not only did grandpa get a fantastic 29 inch trophy walleye - but his grandsons got trophy fish as well. And all three generations were there to enjoy it!

Fishing has been great!

This is an email that Lee sent to his buddy Charlie from Minnesota. He was asking why he hadn't gotten any "fishing reports" this summer. I think we were pretty crazy busy at the time...

Hi Charlie, fishing here has been nothing short of fantastic. I haven't sent you a report because I didn't want to brag. Boats are catching up to 200 walleye a day from 20" - 31". I took 2 guys out after supper and they caught 30 lakers up to 18 lb's a few days ago. The next night we caught 20. We caught a 46" pike yesterday and the guys are catching well over 100 per day per boat of smaller ones.

Hastily,

Lee
