Fishing Is Phenomenal

 To say that the fishing is phenomenal is an understatement.  The lakes around us have not had much if any fishing pressure for the last two years with the U.S. border closure.  It has been a tough time for us to be without our guests, both socially and financially.  But we are oh so thankful to have four cabins with guests in them now since the border has reopened.  

Joanna and I have been fishing on Indian Lake quite a bit since we got here on June 20th.  It's been amazing to be able to catch fish so easily even in the middle of the day.  We usually have only been going to the first point after coming out of the river and we catch both Walleye and Pike, nice sizes too.  We feel so spoiled.  

Now we are hearing from our guests what great fishing it is.  The Landa group came in from fishing a short time on Saturday evening and were beaming from ear to ear.  They said it was some of the best fishing they have ever had.  I believe they caught 40 fish between the three of them in about an hour.  One after another.  

Then today, we thought we would go out and do a little exploring to see if we could find a new honey hole to fish from.  We came across a fantastic spot that we had never fished before.  It was extremely windy and very wavy on the lake.  I dropped in my jighead with a leech attached and in just seconds I had a beautiful Walleye hooked.  It was about 17 inches. 

 I had drifted a bit by the time I got the fish taken care of and a new leech on my jighead, so I had to motor around to find the spot again.  I was nervous about trying to anchor in the strong wind and didn't want it to get hung up on rocks and not be able to pull it up again.  So I opted to just keep using my fish finder to locate the proper depth again.  

As soon as my leech hit the bottom and I began to drift again in the wind, I felt that wonderful tug on the line and hauled in another beautiful Walleye, about 18 inches.  Following the same procedure as before, Joanna landed a 19 incher.  That's all we had room for on our license, so it was time to head back in.  But what fun to find a new spot and have it turn out to be so dynamic.  

You all better get up here quick and get in on this spectacular fishing before next season and everyone else is up here too.

Memorable Day at Paguchi

Image
  Bobby Jones and his three amigos had a memorable day on Paguchi a week ago.  Folks that have fished the lakes around our resort for years have always gone to Paguchi for Lake Trout and Northern Pike fishing.  It looks like that has changed for now.  Someone caught a 35 inch Walleye there and posted it in the Ignace newspaper a few years ago.  Word got out that there were walleye in Paguchi and it became a very busy fishing spot for locals and non residents alike.  Since the boat landing only holds about four boats and trailers, you now see vehicles and trailers parked along both sides of the road beside the entry road to Paguchi.   Bobby and his group knew there were Walleye spots in Paguchi and using their electronics, they endeavored to find them.  They caught a few but then decided to turn off all electronics and ask their Heavenly Father to put them on a good Walleye spot.  They drifted quite a ways and all of a sudden began catching a few.  They stopped and still fished.  That&#

The Hansen Family Reunion

 Don Hansen, his wife Liz and some of his grown children have been coming to our resort to fish for many years.  Recently Don passed away and after the funeral, his wife and all five kids came to stay with us.  They know Indian Lake very well having fished it for all these years, so had no trouble locating great fishing spots.  Lisa, the youngest in the family and only daughter sent me some pictures of the beautiful fish they caught.  She said they had a wonderful time together.

Best Year Ever

Image
  So many times already this summer we have heard folks say this was their best year ever for fishing since they've been coming to Agimac River Outfitters.  Quite a few of our guests have been coming for close to 30 years.  So that is really saying something.  Pictured above is Brad Steinbach with his 40 plus inches Northern Pike out of Indian Lake.   On the same day he also managed to land this huge brute of a fish.  His lure was almost as big as the fish.  :)  A few weeks ago Leo Bonin reeled in one of the biggest Walleyes he's ever caught.  What a look of joy on his face!!  Way to go Leo. When our guests leave at the end of the week, they sometimes have left over live bait which they either take back home with them or give to me.  I prefer to save leeches since they are easy to keep in my refrigerator all summer long.  I now have an abundant supply of leeches to use for myself and Joanna besides our kids and other friends when they come up later in the summer to stay with us
