For those faithful blog followers, I will not be posting on this site most of the summer.
The reason is because of the data allowance that we have through our satellite internet service.
I can not post to Facebook and this site every time I want to share something.
So I will be mostly posting updates and pictures to our facebook page.
I realize not everyone is using facebook, so am sorry. I too, am not on facebook much at all. Mainly for Black Bear stuff. You can easily set it up that you only visit our Black Bear Lodge page and ignore everything else Facebook "offers".
Again, sorry for the lack of posting here, but the service has us limited.

August is off with a bang
The past two weeks have been great for both fishing and guests. As it has been most of the summer, walleye fishing is great, pike fishing good, and other species are hit or miss...guests...fantastic.
A big thanks to all of the groups that came throw these past few weeks. I am sorry I did not get all of the picture up on this blog. I am running two sites this year (this blog and our Facebook page). Because of our data allowance restriction on our internet, I am not always putting pics up on both sites.
But here are a couple of pics from last week...

Back to business
Well after a nice break from a schedule, we are back to business around here. 7 groups totaling 30 guests has given a much better picture of the fish activity on Red Lake. The answer...very good!
Lots and lots of eater sized walleyes (14-18inches) with quite a few overs (19-25 inches). Already this week we have had a few over 26 and even a 28 inch. Pike fishing is still a little slow, but there have been a few big ones (near 40 and 40+). Just a couple of lake trout (biggest is 37 inches).
Today the wether is unseasonably cool with all day (on/off) rain. Many guests decided to sleep in, have walleye chowder soup for lunch and just fish for a couple of hours.Hopefully fishing activity with ramp up tonight..I like seeing those big fish!

Family Week
We just started our only week off of the year. Today we went and visited our good friends Keith and Debbie at their camp down in Ear Falls. This is something we can only do when there are no guests in camp. The kids spent the day swimming and kayaking while the adults enjoyed the beautiful weather and had adult conversations. We have many great friends in and around the Red Lake area, but as camp owners, it is extremely hard for us to leave camp and visit very often. So, safe to say, we really enjoyed our day...great weather, great food, and great friends!
As for the fishing report...we had a very small week last week and,of course, no guests this week...but from what we have experienced...fishing is still good! Jillian and I have ramped up our fishing time and we have had no problem catching walleyes. Mostly eaters 13-18 inches, biggest is 25 inches. We even managed to catch some lake trout as well (nothing too big though). I did have 2 REALLY big trout on for 5-10 minutes before losing one to a bite off and the other just let go. Oh well, still a fun 10 minutes.
