• Moose On

  Our fishing parties are officially over for the season. This is unfortunate since the fishing is nothing but exceptional right now. We have a few archery moose hunting parities out now. The rifle hunters arrive in a week or so. Besides moose hu...

• She baits her own hook too!

  Posted on Wednesday September 9th, 2009 at 07:29 in big fish, catch and release

  We are seeing more and more couples on fly in vacations.  It seems that the women love the fishing just as much as the men.  At Hilltop Lake we caught and released many nice walleye.  Karen has been very good at baiting her own...

• Releasing the big one

  Posted on Monday September 7th, 2009 at 08:32 in big fish, catch and release, walleye

  Jon Loth has the right idea.  The big walleye are better off in the lake.  The smaller ones provide a tasty meal and the larger walleye can be turned to the lake to breed more feisty, tasty little ones.  Our camp policy is that al...

• Great trip

  Posted on Friday September 4th, 2009 at 07:38 in big fish, walleye, metionga lake

  Paul Loth has been fishing with us for many years.  I think the reasons for a return trip if evident when we see some of this summer’s catch and release.  ...

• Still Hungry

  Posted on Sunday August 16th, 2009 at 07:12 in misc, big fish, walleye, metionga lake

  This walleye took a temping jig, while he still had not finished his last meal.  The walleye at Ignace Outposts are voracious.  It is hard to believe that having a partly digested burbot (ling) still hanging out of his mouth is not en...

• Whopper

  Posted on Saturday August 15th, 2009 at 07:00 in big fish, catch and release, walleye, metionga lake

  Metionga Lake keeps offering up these whopper walleye.  The numbers of walleye are nothing to ignore either.  Of course big fish like these are put back and smaller ones are kept to eat. Adrian Brusky will attest to the walleye fish...

• Another great trip

  Posted on Monday August 10th, 2009 at 07:24 in big fish, catch and release, northern pike, seseganaga lake

  “Good afternoon Brad. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this past week at your Sesaganaga outpost.  As always this lake produces big numbers and big fish.  One goal I have for every trip is to catch a 20+lb Northern and I ...

  Brad/Karen, Had a great week with the Snapp group again this year...wanted to include a photo of the 44 inch northern pike I snagged on my ultra light spinning reel with 6 pound test line...great fight up on Flindt!!!!  Thanks again for some gr...

• Extra Large Walleye Lake

  Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 07:14 in big fish, catch and release, fly in, irene lake

  My dad has a way of finding the big ones.   Big walleye seems to be the order of the day on Irene Lake.  It is a deep clear water lake so we don’t see as many walleye on Irene as we do on our north lakes, but they are well worth the e...

• Lunch and a fight

  Posted on Saturday July 18th, 2009 at 07:08 in bass, big fish, walleye, shore lunch, irene lake

  Irene Lake is one of these lakes that feature multiple species.  Of course walleye are great for shore lunch while nothing fights like a small mouth. ...

• Flindt in the rain

  Posted on Friday July 17th, 2009 at 08:17 in big fish, release, flindt lake

  We haven’t had much for summer weather yet and we are already half way through July. Temps remain below normal and rain gear sales are likely high at the sports stores. The walleye don’t mind a little water. It seems to be their preferred e...

• Two trophies on one trip

  Posted on Monday July 13th, 2009 at 07:17 in Fishing, big fish, staff, northern pike, walleye, fly in

  Joey our dock hand (fishing fanatic) knows how to get the big ones. It is nice to know there are still some great fish in the lakes.  Give Ignace Outposts a try.  Not everyone will catch a trophy like this but you will catch fish an...

• Not a bad double header

  Posted on Saturday July 11th, 2009 at 06:52 in trophies, big fish, walleye, ignace outposts, ignace

  Joey, our dock hand this summer, found a few moments to fish with his wife this past week. Without revealing his “super secret spot” (locals are like that), here is a glimpse of a double header they caught. Our pilot Rob took the picture and ve...

• In sight of the cabin

  Posted on Tuesday July 7th, 2009 at 07:17 in trophies, big fish, catch and release, northern pike, walleye

  Dave Trcka sent a note about these three fish all caught within 1 hour on Metionga Lake in sight of the cabin. “I caught (Lower Rapids)a 34” Northern (no Picture), a 40” Northern (57 ), a 42” Northern (53 ) and a 26” Walleye(55) a...

• A little R&R

  Posted on Monday July 6th, 2009 at 07:02 in vacation, big fish, catch and release, walleye, metionga lake

  Wisconsin Dells is known as a great vacation destination. The resorts there are fantastic and draw folks from all over the world. But, the big question is “where would someone from the Dells go to vacation?’ I know where they go. Metionga La...

• Brad is SICK!

  Posted on Saturday May 16th, 2009 at 06:43 in vacation, big fish, spring, trip planning, catch and release, walleye, ignace outposts

  Yes, I am sick. Nothing to do with H1N1 or other exotic virus. I have that annual sickness that strikes on the third Sat in May. I have a bad case of “Walleye Fever”. This illness manifests itself like clockwork and leaves me in a state of ...

  Paul R. from St Paul sent up a few more photos from his group's trip in mid Sept. at Metionga Lake.The "Boys in Blue" certainly managed a few nice fish.Paul wrote: "More pics, what a great trip."Of course he also added the big ones were put back. O...

• Fall Northern

  Posted on Thursday September 11th, 2008 at 08:06 in Fishing, big fish, northern pike, hilltop lake

  Fall northern fishing can be some of the best fishing anywhere. Of course we don't guarantee fish like this to everyone, but I will guarantee fish like this are in all the lakes. A little skill and a little luck make all the difference, but the bi...
