Mike and Diane,

Just wanted to say thanks again for the hospitality over the last couple of days. Can't wait to get back up there again soon. I will definately recommend you to anyone that is looking for a place to stay in that area. Now just need to figure out a way for me to make a living up there and then we'll be neighbors

Paul~Glad you guys were able to come up and Barry was able to do so well his first trip up, is he telling everyone how easy it is to get a limit
I don't know about you moving up this way...that would be one more person for Mike to go fishing with and then I would never see him around here!

Gonna try to squeeze in one more trip on frozen water before I retire the Otter for the season and swith to the Tyee. How are the accesses doing? Will I be okay in the 4 x 4?

Diane - Can you save me some space at the Inn? Gonna give the Craps one more whirl on URL, then try LOW for some Wally's and some big PIG PIKE!!!!!!!

Hey Paul...room in the Inn just for you (although somedays it's more like the nuthouse !)

As of last night the accesses were doing really well and people were out all over with no problems. If you want, give us a call later and we'll give you today's update once people start coming back in. LOTS of really nice crappies came through the fish cleaning room last night and this morning!

Drake,

Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye last night. It was really late when we rolled through there and didn't see any lights on.

Just an update for you. Ice conditions were really good with 24 inches of ice in most places and the ice surface, once you got out a little from the accesses, was about the smoothest I've seen it all year.

We got a lot of nice fish with some of them just topping 14 inches. I will e-mail the photo of Tyler with his northern, not exactly sure how big it was, as we left the tape in the truck, but I would guess he was 38-40 inches. Tyler's face . 11 years old and already experienced the trip of a lifetime.

So thanks again, and We will see you again this spring.

Thanks for the picture Paul~tell Tyler it's hanging in the office and the guys are already admiring it! Looks like the northern is nearly as big as Tyler Loved his "thumbs up"..definitely a trip he will always remember. It's great when the kids are able to do well..the look on their faces says it all

Hey Jiggle! Send the pics to us and I'll print em' out and put it up! What started out as a board is now also all around the board and starting on the next wall! Especially love the pic's of the kids When you send it just let me know your young un's name (Jiggle Jr.?) as I like to put people's first names under it and something about the pic.
