Two and a half years ago Jerry asked me to plan a "Guy's Trip" because I have done that sort of thing before. I had planned the trip for August of 2010, but due to scheduling conflicts that happened Bud and Jerry were unable to go. When Bud saw the pictures and videos I took on the 2010 trip he confessed he made the wrong choice of not going. Fast Forward to 2011, and we had the trip to Sportsman's Lodge scheduled again.
Jerry has not really been fishing for 30+ years, and Bud who is an avid Catfish fisherman had not been to Canada for Walleye or Northern. We all had a GREAT time the week we were there. Had we been a week earlier or later we would have dealt with much warmer weather (90 degree plus). We had very little issue catching our Lunch and Dinner while we were there. Jerry caught a 35.5" Northern which is currently the biggest fish he has ever caught.
Our shore lunch at Table Rock was a real surprise for Bud and Jerry. All we brought with us was Aluminum foil, seasonings, tortilla, and cheese. After building a fire in the fire pit at Table Rock we made some really great fish tacos.
Bud is also a pretty good photographer and captured several photos of things I normally overlook. Take the time to browse our album on the site. I especially like sunrise photo at Red Lake.
I have not been home a week yet and already want to go back. Guess it is time to start planning my 2012 trip!
