Hey Sportsfans,
63 years of summer fishing out on the Lake of the Woods, and we couldn’t be more happier with the outcome.
Before our opener back in May, our team had a meeting to discuss how the summer would go. In this meeting, we made it a goal to accomplish 2,000 trips out to the lake.
I am proud to announce that we accomplished this goal by 4. This summer, we hit 2,004 fishing trips!! Beating last year’s record of 1905, with the hard work of this amazing crew, we added 99 more trips than last year.
Would you believe me if I told you that in 2002, we had only taken out a total of 605? The amount that this resort has grown is incredible, and we owe a lot of that to you.
This summer, we added a few new members to our crew, from the dining room, to the office, and even out on the waters. Speaking of guides, our very own Mer Rolin hit his 29th year of fishing for us.
These past 2 weeks, we have still been making it out to the lake and fishing on the south side.
What is even crazier is we are still finding good fishing on the lake. Good spots seem to be in the 16-19 foot area, we have had some success in the river also. A major thing that hasn’t happened is the shiner run, hopeful to see that happen soon.
Hoping for early ice in December so we can be back on the lake as soon as possible.
From the Ballard’s crew, we want to send a huge thank-you to all of our hosts who help organize and plan their trips here this summer. We also want to send a huge thank you to the Walleye Connections group hosts and the involvement they have here.
See you December!
