  • The fishing season on our lake opens for bass, pike, and walleye on Saturday, May 6.  Panfishing is open year-round.  The musky season opens on Saturday, May 27.  Our docks and boats will be in the water by May 2.  We plan on giving the main dock a fresh coat of paint before it is launched.

  • It is turning out to be an early spring.  Trees are leafing out, flowers are blooming, frogs are active, and birds are building nests.

  • I installed new porcelain tile on the floors of bathrooms in units 3 and 4.  They look good (see photo below).  We also have new and cute curtains in the bedrooms of units 1 and 2.  My sister made the curtains.   The kitchen table in unit 1 has a new top; it's clean and smooth!

  • We've ordered new sweatshirts that we will be offering for sale.  They will be green and have a loon design on the front.

  • The DNR stocked 120 muskies from our docks on September 19.  The fish were 10-13 inches long.

  • Glen Baugh caught and released a 4 pound bass in our bay on September 22.

  • Tyler Jackson established a new record length bass for our lake with a 22 inch, 5.5-pounder he caught on August 6 using a spinner bait.  Good job Tyler!

  • Trent Jackson, 10-years old, had a great week of fishing on the Yellow River in August--he caught a 34-inch pike and a 34-inch musky!   Way to go!

  • I established a new record bluegill for our lake on August 16 with a 9 and 3/16-incher.  I caught the beauty in 15 feet of water on a live crawler.

  • We harvested wild rice on area lakes and again are offering it for sale.

  • This web site has sound--each page has a short song that plays once.  Turn up the volume!
