Hey Sportsfans,

We are officially one week away from opener, and the excitement around here is building fast!

The lake is really starting to open up, and we’ve noticed the water getting dirtier by the day—a sure sign things are changing quickly.

Down here in the river this weekend, the annual Sportsman’s Sturgeon Tournament is underway. We’ve heard the biggest fish so far measured 66 inches, but overall reports from guests competing have been mixed. Many are saying it’s been a tough year, with a slower bite than usual.

The lodge will be closed this week as we gear up for opener, but be sure to follow along on our Facebook page for all the latest updates.

We can’t wait to bring you that first official fishing report—it’s right around the corner!

Set the hook!
