Will be staying at Eagle Lodge, I believe. Boats and motors provided by the Lodge, and will be kind of self guided. Good friend of mine is organizing the whole thing. Driving to Flint, Michigan to pick up his brother on the way up. With those 2, it definitely won’t be boring.

Walleye all year. Definitely in it for the walleye. Best tasting freshwater fish for me. Wouldn’t mind hooking pike or musky too, though.

Right on, Mate, let me know if I can help, in any way !
Bunch of lodges go by that, or a variation of it.
Colegrove's Eagle Lake Lodge ?
If so, it's 4 minutes from my place & I know the owners personally !

Eagle Lake ought to treat you well fish wise. I have family in Dryden area. Never had the chance to fish Eagle Lake myself. I’m a couple hours away. I drove through the Eagle lake area earlier this winter on our way to Vermillion Bay.

A friend went to Eagle Lake every opening day for 15 yrs. He said there were a few days you could not catch a fish, but that was spring time. I am sure September is a very good time to go.. The walleye fishing was good, they didnt like the smallmouth cause they were nothing but bait thieves. He said very little about the northerns. If you can eat a northern and a walleye without being one sided, you likely will like the northern every bit as much ad maybe more. Walleye are a mild fish .. A northern is a little less tart and sweeter fish,,, at least where I fish them. It could be different in Canada. I fished south of there in a place called Quetico a long time ago and thought the smallmouth were as good as both.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

If he could not catch 30-50 walleye a day, in spring, he was fishing the wrong part of Eagle Lake. Spawning grounds are well know & the surrounds make for amazing fishing. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JuyBfjw.jpg) 5 of us caught over 200, in a 4 hour guided trip.
