We are super excited for the fishing season! Only a few weeks to go! May 20th is walleye opener (which is always the 3rd Saturday of May) and the season for northern pike and smallmouth bass does not close at any point through the year. The lake trout season is closed from October 1 to January 1 every year as they spawn later in the year than other fish species.

At Caribou, we are putting in a new kitchen, flooring and paint in one of the rental cabins. Check out the progress!

Here is a picture of Amber and Lisa going across on the side by side to One Man bringing in groceries.

We will be contacting everyone who is flying into a lodge or requiring ground transportation to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed!

Again, please check your passports expiry dates and that everything is correct to ensure you are able to cross the border.

If you have any questions about your fishing trip or future trips, please contact us.

Fishermen fishing this summer with us: CHECK YOUR PASSPORT EXPIRY DATES. We want to see you this summer!!! Ensure that you can come fishing this summer with a quick look at your passports!

Chris loves to be able to fly in the winter time as you can get around so easily. Check out the scenery from up above! Gorgeous winter views!! This plane here is fully equipped with skis so he can land on the snow.

Lake trout for supper! Quick family recipe: put fresh trout fillets on a greased baking dish/pan, add lemon wedge, sliced onion, seasonings (we love Old Bay) and sliced tomato. For those who like ketchup you can even put a little squeeze on that. Bake it at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until fillets just start to shrink-your fish is cooked!

Chris started off the month in Iowa doing a sport show and went straight to Chicago to meet up with Amber and Lisa, the new manager of Kettle Falls. We were able to visit with lots of memorable guests and met a lot of new fishermen as well. We cannot wait for this upcoming summer!

Once back from Chicago, it was getting organized so we could bring snowmobile sleighs full with our stock of supplies into the remote camps. What a great few days it was-look at the blue skies in the picture-pretty deceiving when the temperature was -30C.

Happy New Year!! To bring in the New Year why not go fishing? Chris caught this lake trout when he was out working on camps…hard work, eh? No, Chris and Jonny went cutting firewood for the remote (outpost) camps in preparation for the summer. After being out on trails and snowmobiles, it’s nice to stop and make a fire to warm up your lunch. Lots of times with the frigid temperatures sandwiches get so solid by lunchtime you could break a tooth. The fire is nice to warm up next to and heat/thaw your lunch!

We were able to do some of our sport shows in January…we have been doing the Kansas City sport show for decades and the show was cancelled due to loss of venue and St Paul was cancelled as well. We went to Milwaukee, WI and it was great to be back in the saddle again after not doing any sport shows since prior to Covid.
