Thanks again for your fine hospitality while we were at Anishinabi! Can't believe I hadn't been there with the crew for six years...I had forgotten how beautiful and great it is! We all had a great time and enjoyed the variety of weather! We made it home just fine, although we had about a two-hour wait at the border. I have attached a couple of pictures from our trip and in fact I'll probably just send four or five at a time so the email isn't so big. I love the picture I took on Isabelle of the sunrise at 5:30 a.m. that morning...sure was peaceful and nice over there! Hopefully I'll be back next year along with my four sons!

Our stay at Rocky Shore Lodge was absolutely great! We appreciate all of the hospitality you have given and the personable touch that makes the difference! As we look over the past week, the weather was so nice and the wind calm. Fishing was a little tough but we caught over 200 fish – still! Our highlights were two huge walleye, 3 very nice smallies, 1 very thrashing pike and several nice perch. Abby and the humming birds were such a treat. All the wild life was terrific . . . we've never seen so many Eagles as we did this time. Thank you very much for making our stay so nice and comfortable. Take care and we'll see you next year!

Rob, this was, by far, our best Canadian fishing trip ever! The service we received was fantastic, from housekeeping to personal launching/docking, from new customer guide service to free fish cleaning; everything was first class all the way. Our unit was immaculately clean, beds were extremely comfortable, and ceiling fans in every room were a life-saver! Our view was perfect and daily towel service was an appreciated added bonus! Your grounds were simply beautiful and well maintained. You provide the newest and most efficient boats/motors. After fishing off a 17-1/2 ft Lund with a 40 hp Yamaha 4-stroke engine with newly mounted easy-to-use trolling motors, live wells, fish locators, with all necessary equipment supplied free of charge, it's difficult to go back to our "normal" set-up! We were all pleasantly surprised at the boat house/office and it's use of a computer, gift shop, fresh popcorn/coffee, TV to watch, and to simply sit, lounge and converse - what a great idea!

"I've have the privilege of sharing three consecutive fishing trips to ELSL with my adult daughter. Just Dad and Daughter fishing and spending great time together. What I got was three years of having my daughter "out fish" me by catching the biggest fish each year. Still, a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, the water, and the fish. What outshines all of that? The hospitality of Jim and Cindy, our hosts. You have to experience it to appreciate it. If you want a worry free trip to a beautiful place, try Eagle Lakes Sportsman Lodge. You won't regret your choice."

I wanted to take a moment to tell all of you: "WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME WE HAD WITH YOU ALL AT CEDARPOINT." I really mean that. You know Rich and I have been coming up there for quite a while and it was Mike's second year, and EJ's first, and everything was great, once again. The highlight, of course, was Mike's 10 pound walleye. Fishing with us at Cedarpoint seems to be his good luck charm, considering the big walleye this year and the biggest in his life, 39 1/2 inch, 20 pound northern, last year. But the thing that most amazed me was the fact that we caught so many big fish this year. 25, 26, 27 inch walleyes, fish after fish. As I have told you in the past Pat, it really is a thrill to release thos big 'eyes. I think this demonstrates that our skills are improving with repetition, you and Wayne continue to share valuable information on the current Hot-spots, and I believe we are seeing the fruits of the Ministry's slot limit. It's great! The portage to Buzzard Lake ... (continued)
