Dick and his grandson Ethan in the fish house preparing for a walleye supper. Today was the first outpost check day. Unnamed Lake had a 32 inch northern plus 26 and 28 inch walleyes.  Nothing really big at Poirier, but Bob and his son having great fishing. At Goose Lake a…

Our first day of fishing at Goose Lake this season. Tom C cleans up the fish house after filleting the evenings supper. Tom’s first trip with us was 1978 our first year.

We are ready for guests this weekend. The portage at Whitedog Falls had some trees down but nothing like the portages at Monroe and Unnamed.

The water is six inches below the top of the dock and Woman Falls is really flowing.

The reef markers are in thanks to Jack G who sent me a replacement transducer for my Hummingbird 4000. The Hummingbird combined with the GPS (I marked the positions last fall) make locating reefs a snap.

Do not be fooled by the open water in the background. We flew the airplane off the ice and landed in the river–the only open water around.

We are almost finished at Goose Lake. Today, we replaced some more cabin supports and washed the decks with deck wash solution and the high pressure washer. We are very pleased with the results as the decks look new.

The season is almost over. We are cutting and splitting firewood for next year. We also poured some replacement concrete anchors for our reef markers.

For those who have fished Nechigona Lake from Goose Lake and noticed that this year the Walleyes were not in the channel like years past. The Dawson crew in the photo caught 578 Walleyes in the channel today.
