Morels and wild leeks were plentiful this year!

A highlight of the spring is when we find a newborn fawn in our back yard. This is our 2011 baby:

They are so cute and have such big eyes!
This is our 2005 baby!
These pictures were both taken in our back yard!!
If you'd rather spend your day fishing........

......we grow them big up here!
We can make arrangements for your own charter trip to get the big ones, or bring your own boat and fish all day if you want! The rivers are always full of fish. By the way,Portage Lake is well known for its Bass. Fly fishing is very popular in this area!
If you do try one of our local charters,
plan on eating a lot of fish!
Beverly looks like she's wondering what she's going to do with all that Salmon!!!
Even I can do this!!!!!
I was struggling to hold up my fish, but Matt looks like his is a piece of cake. Maybe mine was bigger??????
Have you ever tried flyfishing? We can set you up. We have one of the best in the area. Give us a call, we will set you up with Captain Bill of River Marine Outfitters or Captain Jon of Hawkins Outfitters.
It doesn't get any better than this!
This page consists of pictures we have taken and pictures our guests have taken. We encourage our guests to send pictures. Also, in our lobby is a bulletin board with many pictures from our guests.
