2011 year end appreciation and summary

2011 Season Summary
Dear North Shore Lodge Guests,

With great appreciation we want to thank you for fishing with us on famous and beautiful Eagle Lake. We hope you enjoyed your Canadian fishing experience and it was our pleasure to serve you!
Some say their home away from home. It warms are hearts to know you enjoy North Shore Lodge enough to call your second home!
Some adopt Boomer (our yellow lab) for the week bringing him toys and treats! With all the photos taken of Boomer we would not be surprised to see a billboard with a picture of his famous cute mug. He is a true camp dog. He entertains with his fishing techniques, greets you when you return to the docks from fishing and sometimes cleans your boat of unwanted and sometimes wanted water bottles.
Others say they eat too much. Shore lunches are a special treat that everyone should experience! We take great pride in all the meals we serve in our dining room overlooking the breathtaking Eagle Lake.
All say what great fishing Eagle Lake provides with the trophy size smallmouth bass, walleyes, northerns and muskies. Thank you goes to the Ministry of Natural Resources for the slot limits and restrictions to help Eagle Lake to thrive for years to come.
2011 season brought families and friends together to experience nature at its best! The sport of fishing, the untamed wildlife, amazing sun rises and sunsets and the adventure abound!
Again this year we were lucky enough to have professional fisherman Spence Petros visit us for a week to provide nightly seminars and share his expertise, at no extra fee to you. Make sure to take advantage of his knowledge and experience a week of very productive fishing! Spence will be joining us again in July, 2012. Sign up early, this week fills up fast!

Thank you for choosing our lodge to share your vacation. We hope to see you next year at North Shore Lodge, where we and our staff (which we feel is the best in Canada and are very proud of them) strive to make your trip as fulfilling as possible.

Mark, Brenda and Boomer

Mark and Brenda,
Really looking forward to coming up in less than 2 weeks. Haven't seen any fishing reports yet and very curious to hear when the ice went out (I assume very early) and how the fishing has been in 2012 and what they are doing currently. I am hoping that timing is not so far off that the year is already 2-3 weeks ahead of typical. But either way, I can't wait and if the fishing keeps getting better as it has been every year, this trip should be fantastic!! See ya' soon!
