Hey Slick, I just got the 2nd to last room at the AmericInn in Blackduck for the weekend of the 19th. They had one left as of yesterday. Their number is 218-835-4500. I've also had good luck at the Drake in Blackduck. There are usually some rooms in Bemidji too if you can get to their tourism website.

Maybe see you on the ice the 19th or 20th, I'll be driving my red Explorer SportTrak.

Good luck. Polar Bear

We just came back from URL and we stayed at the Drake Motel in Blackduck. It is only 20 minutes away. They fish cleaning room and a freezer to keep them in. There is also a resort on the lake called Hudec's. Go onto upperredlakeassn.com under businesses and then catagorical and you will find more info on these places to stay.

Just a note to all the fishermen looking for a room.
Hudec's, West Wind, Park Inn in Northome, The Drake Motel in Blackduck and The Royal Shooks Motel are all members of the Upper Red Lake Area Assc.
Hudec's, West Wind and Park Inn have sponsored crappie cribs.
The Shooks Motel also contributed to the crappie crib project.
Dues to the URLAA are $25 a year. It costs $250 to sponsor a crib. The AmericInn from Blackduck has repeatedly turned us down when we ask if they are interested in joining the Lake Assc.. They have also turned us down when approached about sponsoring a crappie crib.
Some Motels care about the lake and the future fishing,,,,,,, some don't.

Kelly,
Thanks for that bit of info! It makes a difference to me which area businesses support the fishery.
I will be staying at the Drake this weekend, hope to get the opportunity to use the new fish cleaning facility!
We'll stop by the Minnow Station to say hello.

See you Friday

Kelly,

Spoke to the owners of the AmericInn last night. They were concerned and wanted to know who to contact to join the URL Association. I gave them your name. Hit them up for a crib when they call!

InTheSchool,
The manager of the AmericInn contacted me last night. They want a membership form for the URLAA as soon as posible. I also mentioned the crib sponsor program to them. I understand they have a new manager who has different views then the past one. I like their new attitude.
