I was wondering if anyone can refer us to a decent place to eat right on Ottertail. We have an anniversary on July 2nd and would like a decent place to eat at while we are at our cabin in Ashby. The past few years we have gone to Ten Mile Resort, which is very good, but we just want some different scenery.

As far as eateries on the water, you are probably limited to Zorbaz and Greystone.

While I love Zorbaz chow, I am not sure if you want to go to a pizza/taco joint for an anniversery.

Greystone is right up the road, and now has a boat that features a dinner cruise on the lake which might be just what you are looking for. They have a double decker boat with lav and food facilities.

If you want something slightly off the lake, Elmers Texas Barbecue on hwy 78 is good, as is Thumper Pond in Ottertail city.

Personally, my wife and I go to the Otter Supper Club in Ottertail city for our anniversery every year. Excellent food and friendly atmosphere.

We like Ten Mile too - mmmmm, blue cheese dresing grin.gif

Wow...Greystone has a dinner boat now?!?! That must be something new just this year. That sounds pretty neat. May have to check that out this year when we're up there. I assume they have some sort of bar on there too? tongue.gif

For an anniversary Stubs is a must, ten times better food quality then Ten Mile and Greystone, romantic atmosphere and a dove bar for desert.

Stubs...That is in Battle Lake right? Is it a fancy place, or can you go dressed pretty casual...shorts/shirt/ballcap?

Stubs, any attire is fine within reason. All their steaks are awesome, big fan of prime rib and new york.

Stella's in Battle Lake (next to the hardware store) has really good food and is a nice place to eat. I recently went there and was impressed.

Thumper Pond and Otter Supper Club are the best place for an anniversary dinner. Thumper Pond is more formal with table cloths and isn't connected to a bar. Thumper does have a lot of wedding on Saturdays though. But the food at both places is very good. I've even believe that the chef at the Otter is married to the gal who is the chef at Thumper. Also for those who like to save a little money, look in the Midweek for the ad for the Otter. The radio stations from Fergus Falls and Perham have certificates, but the best time to call for them is Friday morning. I just picked up two $25 certificates for just $12.50 each. Most of the time they are $17.50.

Three best would be Stubs, Thumper Pond, or the Otter. The Fireside in Detroit Lakes is a good option if you don't mind a bit of a drive.

No way Stub's is 10 times better than Greystone. Twice the price of Greystone yes! Joe Z.

Alright, Stub's is only 7 times better than Greystone, but 20 times better to take your wife for anniversary dinner. grin.gif

Just got back from 5 days in Battle Lake. Stubs was excellent as usual. I had walleye which was cooked wonderfully, We also had steaks in our party, and the pork chop. Everyone was happy!

Then the next night we went to Stella's. It was packed, but considering how busy they were, the service was good and we didn't have to wait an inordinate amount of time, of course we immediately ordered appetizers. We had a full order of nachos, which were some of the best nachos I've ever had (chicken, black beans, tomatoes, cheese, etc. roasted in the oven, very tasty!!) but a full order is two large plates (enough for 4 people easily) and we were almost full just from eating that. We didn't try any of the sandwiches, but the wood oven pizzas were great as well! I think they're going to be very successful.

Just a little note on where to eat in ottertail... there are many great places to eat, but the best places are those where you wouldn't think to look... for your money, grandmas, they serve breakfast all day long, on the east side of main street in ottertail, it's a no brainer... you just need to take a drive around the lake and you will find everything that you are looking for... and if you drive to perham, the station is the best food around... just drive around and you can find great places to eat... if you see a little place outside of any city, just try it... some of the best laid plans are those that are never planned... later the swcrappie slayer...

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
