What were you fishing for them? What’s the limit and is there a slot? As you know we are plug draggers here. Our limit is 6 per day and they have to be 14” or better. Me and the boy just got everything put away and fish cleaned from chasing them this evening. We caught 3 between 18” and 20” today.

I’ve worried that our camp’s owner who lives in Kansas during the off season would be in a world of hurt not being able to get up there to open his camp. The locals might be “ borrowing” some/most of his stuff I fear. International Falls/Fort Frances, I know it well as we go through on our way up to Red Lake. We nearly bit the bullet clearing customs at your airport one year when a buddy flew five of us up there in his Beechcraft. Bud was use to the 3,000 foot runways in the big cities, not your 1,500 footer up there. He took off like he always did without standing on the brakes and revving the engines. We were out of runway before we were up to take off speed. Lots of wide eyeballs with that stall horn going off. Made quite a memory.

Small enough lake to get around, big walleyes, outstanding facilities... I’ve been to places where I felt like I was serving time instead of having a vacation. Kello Lake Lodge out of Armstrong comes immediately to mind. Another place called Center Channel had a nice new cabin, but no fish. Eagle Lake was too big.

I plan on going back, but this season isn't looking too good for them either. I hope Tom can at least get there and check on the camp. Hopefully he won't take a financial beating. You can follow Tom on Facebook, and keep up with the Camp news if that interests you.

A Lake Superior lake trout is a great fish and because of the forage base up there, completely different than a Lake Michigan lake trout. My old charter fishing buddy lives about 5 miles from Lake Michigan, but drives up to Lake Superior to catch the better fish up there. When we charter fished on Lake Michigan, if the rainbows or salmon weren't hitting as a last resort we went to the bottom for the lake trout. Yellow with fat compared to those pink Lake Superior fish. I hope that you used more boat than what I see in your picture. You are on your own up on that big lake and it blows up in a hurry.

And if memory serves me right the walleye were always swimming south towards Knife River on the north shore. Life is good live it while you can.

Not catching limits as fast as when they were crushing the plugs but still getting plenty of fish. Plus they’re way more fun to fight on a jig rod.

Hard to see the fillet with all that gook on it. Make mine the "Touch of summer" picture from page one with a little lemon pepper. You Canada guys are getting all the fun because they won't let us States guys in to come up there and play with your fish. I do see that you do the "tuning fork" cut on your fillet. Lots of guys don't and end up eating some pin bones. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

I don’t fish much from October to February. 4 month deer season coupled with predator calling and chasing pigs puts a damper on my fishing enthusiasm. Make up for it by fishing probably a minimum of 100 days a year in the spring and summer.

The second week of June is always when we went to Canada. The walleyes were back in the lake after spawning, the may flies were just hatching and the fish were still shallow enough for easy fishing. Dad would stop fishing for a while because he said his arms were getting tired from catching fish. I sure miss that old coot and our fishing trips up there. Those are some old fish up there because the growing season is so short. We pulled scales one year and kept track of the length of the fish. I took them to our local DNR who blew them up with an electric magnifier and everything over 27” was over 18 years old! Very large heads with more narrow bodies verses just the opposite for the local Wisconsin Bay fish.

I'm biting my lower lip here because you won't let us into Canada to play with your fish because of all the anti vaxxers here. A couple years of growing big walleyes and pike even bigger up there with minimal fishing pressure and those big guys only down 7-10 feet on your graph and extremely reachable with a jig and big minnow. This vicarious fella forum fishing isn't very satisfying. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
