Lady slippers

The lady slippers are in full bloom at the resort!

nice catch

Bobby W. of Lonsdale, MN. landed this nice Largemouth Bass in viewing pleasure of beach guests. The Bass leaped out of water trying to spit the bait from its mouth with no success. Bobby let the Bass free for others to enjoy.

WALLEYE?!?

With little to no success the night before, today 07/07/11 during the afternoon Elliot, Mark and Blake all took the boat out to try their luck at fishing again. Luck paid off, Elliot landed this rare but beauty 27.5", 7+lb walleye! Yes thats right folks, a Walleye (Rare for Stocking Lake known for its Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike.)

And to kick it all off it was caught on a plain hook with a night crawler.

Great catch......

Jacob of Swanville MN is smiling from ear to ear after landing this nice 33.5" northern Pike today, needless to say he and his dad are back in the boat fishing for more.

Brave deer.....

Ok, if this deer is going to enjoy snooping in the garage, at least change the oil to the car thank you.



Nope its not the Avon lady knocking, it would be a daily routine of deer coming up on the deck and parading around like they own the place.

BUSTED!

This 6 point buck was enjoying lunch at the bird feeders yesterday. He hung around for a while....although there is still a couple more weeks before muzzle loader hunting season is over...We shall see if he continues to come back to the bird feeders.
Last week we were able to snap a photo of an 8 point buck (bottom photo)also hanging around the feeders, been keeping an eye out for him too.

Winter is here

First measurable snow

I was going to take pictures of the lake ice as it froze over, but then it started snowing and snowing and snowing, we ended up with close to 6" of fresh snow.

First snow of 2010

We woke up to about an inch of snow today, nothing compaired to the twin cities which reached a foot or more in areas, so we will not complain.

Big Bass!

Andrew of Omaha NE, caught and released this 20 1/8" Largemouth Bass! Andrew was fishing out of the peddle boat and said it was quite a challenge to bring in but had a blast doing it.
