Record week for Large Walleye

We'd have to say that out of the five years that we have been running this camp, this was by far the best fishing we've had for opening week! It was normal to catch walleye that were 25 inches or bigger, in fact, people reported having a harder time catching walleye under 18 for the first couple of days. Things started to even out by tuesday and no one was having difficulty cathing their eaters. The biggest northern for the week was 45 inches, and the largest walley sits at 31 1/4.

The second week of season is looking just as good with a 47 1/2 inch northern caught and released!

Sucessful Opening!

Walleye season has finally arrived!
Aside from a relatively late ice off, we've sucessfully managed to open camp. All cabins have water, and only three of them need above ground temp-lines. We heard reports that Gullrock is still frozen over, however, the channel betweek Keg and Gullrock Lake is open, and Keg opened up yesturday (16th). Gullrock should not be far behind.
It was only noon when we heard that a 28 inch walleye was caught, as well as numerous walleye over 25.
Had some pretty heavy periods of rain (and even some hail) this afternoon. It has since cleared up and the camp looks deserted as everyone is out on the lake.
We hope to keep you updated with more fishing reports, so stay tuned!

Ice out on Gullrock

So I thought I'd update the ice conditions again, as we've been getting an influx of called regarding ice-out.
There still seems to be plenty of ice on the lake. However, the bug river, as well as the Chukuni River (where the bridge is) is open a fair bit. We're still optimistic that the ice will be out by the opener, especially if we continue to get nice weather. It has been getting around 8 degrees C for the past couple of days, and it is only looking to get nicer, with a forecast of 15degrees on Saturday. It still gets below freezing at night, but is looking to stay above freezing by the weekend.
It's hard for us to tell you at this time what the ice will do, and when. We still have a good two weeks before the opener. With some nice days, and some wind, it could be off in no time.
On the other hand, it could very well take its time. We respect our guests and would not string you along. At this time, we feel it would be premature to cancel our opening week. We encourage you to keep in touch, and should the time come when we feel the ice will not be off in time, we will make it our first priority to inform you.
Again, please don't hesitate to give us a call (807)727-2671 if you wish to speek to us about this matter.
