Some Recent Whoppers


 

It was Scott Fagerlin's first time visit to Agimac River Outfitters.  What a fun surprise to land a 44 inch Northern Pike in the boat!!  He packed it up and took it home to put on his wall.  Great job, Scott.




Mark and his wife Jen come to Agimac River Outfitter's twice a year and often fill 3 cabins with family and friends.  They offered to take me out fishing with them this week and look what Mark caught... a 28 inch Walleye.  I believe he said it was his biggest one yet.  It was so fun to watch him wrestle with his bent over pole and try to reel that monster in.  Of course Mr. Walleye went back in the lake to catch another time.

Family Reunions are Amazing

  Recently, we had the pleasure of all three of our children and all five of our grandchildren staying with us here at camp.  Our son Jonathan is about to retire from the Air Force and now lives in Oklahoma so he had quite a long drive to get here.  They stopped in Knife River first for a few days to spend some time with his wife, Reseth's parents, then came up here for a week.   Even though the weather was a bit on the cooler side with some rain in the mix, we still managed to have plenty of outdoor time to play together. That  was a good thing because there are five active grand children who were eagerly looking forward to participating in a lot of fun activities up here. Jonathan has three children, Aaron-12, Titus -10 and Evemarie-6.  Our daughter Cherish who lives in Ely with her husband Patrick has two children, Judah-5 and Kaylee-2.   Being that Jonathan has been in the Air Force for nearly 20 years, we have not been able to spend as much time with his family, so it was a re

Sweet Times

Karen Thomas, our cousin from Minneapolis came up for a visit at camp.  She is always such fun and game for anything.  The weather was exceptionally warm, even getting into the 80's for the few days she was there, so we got to do outdoor activities like pontoon boat rides, kayaking, hiking and fishing.   The highlight of her visit, however, was when Joanna, Karen and I went to Dryden to church together on Sunday morning.  We got up at 5:30 am to be able to leave the house at 6:30 am.  It is a two hour drive to get to Dryden and we had to get there an hour and a half before the service started to practice with the worship team.  Once I knew Karen was going to come visit us, I asked the worship leader Steve if he would allow Karen to play her violin in the service.  I play the cello on the praise team and I thought it would be great to add her violin to the mix.  Steve thought so too and was excited to plan music for that week. Everyone in church was so touched by the music that day

Fall Fishing

  Here we have Kristin Armstrong with a 29.5 inch Walleye; the biggest one she has ever caught.  Walleye are beautiful fish and folks have been catching some big ones on Indian Lake.  Just yesterday morning, September 17th, 2023, three men in one boat caught roughly 70 walleyes.  They have fished Indian Lake many years so know where to go to find the fish this time of year.  But it still amazes me how many folks catch and the big sizes in this lake.  The fish population has definitely benefited from 3 years with few if any sportsmen in the area because of covid.  Fishing in the fall also has the benefit of no bugs and pretty nice weather.  Kristin caught this fish on a bit of a cold, blustery day and you see she is dressed for cold weather.  But we are still getting a few weeks now of temps with highs in the 70's and lows in the 40's.  More folks should consider fall fishing.  You just need to know that the fish are a little deeper in the 30 foot range and it's not hard to
