We sold the old boat we had, that got stuck on the beach for 3 days, with many attemps in that freezing water to get it to the boat launch. We've bought a new boat and are ready to head back up there. Newer and much more dependable! I have reserved a campsite, couldn't get in to Zeiner again so we will be at the Pigeon Lake park. Anyone else have plans of heading up there for the Aug long weekend?

I was out last monday and she is fishing very well my son caught his first fish a walleye. I love this time of year it's some of the best fishing of the season. I managed a pike on the fly rod and a half dozen walleye, in a couple weeks the fish are going to come off the spawn and be very hungry and then it will be nuts!
