End of year report!!

Well, this year went by real fast again. The season is already over and we are looking toward the ice fishing season to begin in a couple of months already. We would like to thank all of our guests from this season. We had another busy summer and appreciate all our guests new and old. One of the highlights for me this past summer was being able to fish in the Atikokan Bass Classic tournament with a friend of mine from Eau Claire Wi. Austin was also in the tournament and fished with his grandpa, which I think was his highlight of his summer vacation as well. We had a great time and are looking forward to fish in it next summer as well. If any of our bass fishing fanatic guests are interested in fishing it, get in touch with us and we can get you all the information you need. It is a great time, and a chance to pay for your vacation while you are here!! It is around the second week of August.
Our last group of moose hunters left this past week and now we only have one more group of whitetail hunters coming up from southern Wisconsin to finish up the season. Our hunters did manage to harvest a couple nice bulls, and one of our archery groups arrowed a large cow as well.
Fishing this year overall was very good. We had a couple weeks where it got to be hit and miss due to changing wind conditions, but everyone still caught fish. This past spring was one of our best ever, probably due to the early ice out and fast warm up we had. We are hoping for another good spring next season.
Lake trout season opens in January, and can be good throughout the winter. If anyone is considering an adventurous ice fishing trip, I would recommend March and early April for the best big pike and walleye action. Unfortunately, we had to cancel a couple of trips from last April due to early ice out condtions. Generally, we can always fish the first week of April, and usually well into the second week.
We wish everyone good luck going into the holidays and good fishing all the time!!!
