Is Wigwam really under new ownership ? I recommended them to a non fishing buddy of mine for a trip for him and his family they took last week and now that they got back I am really embarrassed about the recommendation I gave . When did the sale take place ?

Sold last year, hand over was official in December. Been going there since the 1980's - can't say I can recommend anymore!

Is it possible the night life was not family friendly?

We quit going to the WigWam 8 years ago and started going to Arnesen's. WigWam is a hell of a place to party, but I think the fishing comes second. Arnesen's is the other way around, fishing comes first. Could have alot to do with age. LOL Just my two cents.,,,,,,,,,Curly

Stayed there about 10 years ago and have not been back. Like fish hawk said, maybe a little too much partying? Who are the new owners? Their web site has not changed.

A guy from work stayed at Wigwam last weekend. It was his first time to LOW. He said they didn't bring his group out to the fish house on Saturday due to the weather. They were mad when they found out the other resorts brought people out. He said the fishing was pretty slow on Sunday.

Everything has taken a back seat to the bar at Wigwam as long as I can remember. The docks in the summer were travel at your own risk. Great place to go if you are going there to have a good time and not worried about fishing.

This was just one of my buddies complaints exactly but I didn't want to say when I started the thread. They were told supposedly that they didn't have GPS in their bombers and it wasnt safe due to to high winds. I get the saftey issue. That has to be priority #1 for any resort but It made him really mad when he watched the sportmans bombers taking their customers out all morning while they sat on shore. You can get a decent GPS with a lake chip for $400.00 . A decent one enough to use to drive on the lake anyway. There were a couple of other things as well. I warned him before hand about the partying. At least when tom was there he always cared if people caught fish.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.

      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.

      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?
