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 were very muddy today from all the runoff.
We know many of you traveling north like to stop at the Village Corner in Vermilion Bay right before turning north to Red Lake. Unfortunately the entire strip of businesses suffered a fire last fall so you'll need to find an alternate stop. Try filling up before crossing the border or stopping in Dryden where there are several restaurants and gas stations. You can also still get gas at Bobby's or eat at Buster's BBQ in Vermilion Bay both of which are located a short distance west of the turn to Highway 105.
Until next time...tight lines!

Ice Out!
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 today and we will be working on installing them. Walleye opens tomorrow so we plan to give the waters a test to see how hungry the fish are. We'll provide some fishing updates soon!
