The Start of Summer 2022

Hey Sports Fans!

Opening weekend was a riot. Drinks were poured, dinner was served, and FISH WERE CAUGHT! 

During the first weeks of the season, fishing has been great! The guides have spread out, most fishing up North.

Fish have been found shallow when drifting jigs in 10-15’ of water. Over the past couple of days, fish have started to move deep, and guides have found success when anchoring in 21-28’.

The summer season is off to a great start and we look forward to seeing everyone this summer. If you have not yet booked your summer vacation, give us a call today… #218.634.1849.

 

The Opener

Less than two weeks:

A. to paint the house.

B. to lose weight.

C. to make a million dollars.

D. to fish the Walleye Opener on Lake of the Woods.

Letter “D” sounds obtainable, the band is back together, and we are ready to rock!

 

Hello Sports Fans.  Are you ready?  The most heralded date in Minnesota sports history is happening on Saturday MAY 14.  Big fish tales are told while grown weep with anticipation for the start of yet another season.

1961. That’s when it all started for Ballard’s Resort.  And YES the band is back together and YES we are ready.  Ready to provide BIG food, big fun, lodging, beverages, and some of the best darn walleye fishing that you will find anywhere in the world.

It’s been rainy, cold and miserable up here most of the spring.  Just the way we like it!  The main basin is still locked with ice.  The last time things went sideways like this, and we fished the river and bay for the opener, it was nothing but TROPHY-TIME.

Until then…  Let’s hopefully see the flow slow and the water clarity improve.  Mother nature has the reins as we boat and toot our horns behind her.

Let’s get jacked!  It’s THE OPENER!
