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 as Karen and I contributed strings sounds to the worship.  Joanna also joined the worship team in being one of the singers.  She really puts her heart into it.  What a glorious service it was as everyone experienced the sweet presence of the Lord.  Thank you Karen for that special treat.

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
