Note from Robin : At the lodge, sport fishing is strictly, and rightly, catch and release. You do get to keep the right size wall-eye for the shore lunch, and for your quota to take home. There’s a healthy respect here for the fish: barbs are pinched to minimize damage, the biggest catch is gently handled, and always released to give future anglers a similar thrill. Guides give excellent advice on the website, and the resort’s long-returning guests speaks volume about its atmosphere and staff.
