Minnow Sales Climb in 2009…….

I’ve often made the claim to guests who, in the morning, are surprised to find their minnow buckets empty of minnows, that the mink or otter has stolen their bait. Nobody has actually called me a liar, or sounded the B.S. Alert, but judging by the sceptical looks that I often receive there are some doubts out there.

Well, this summer we had a family of otters (3) that hung around the creek and often made early morning forays to the easy pickings to be found hanging off the docks. They were so brazen that I was able to snap these pictures while standing on the dock. So you can now be assured that there is a reason for the locking mechanism on those minnow buckets, and that the lodge owner is not conspiring to boost minnow sales.

Testimonials

This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.

The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.

This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
