August 23

-Jason and Roger Meric arrived in camp on the 19th and continue to crush the pike. Their pike are averaging 30inches with Roger's big pike weighting in at 17lbs on Sunday. Mike commented that it was "one of the most impressive pike to come out of the French River" (photos to arrive shortly). By the way, the pike was caught on a copper colored Tikki Spoon. Roger continued his impressive week with two muskies measuring 42 and 38 inches. Both were caught on a Grandma Lure, Northern Pike color. Roger's son Jason was robbed of a huge pike at the boat tonight, but managed to land a fat 42 inch muskie on a Big Game in a jailbird finish.
-The large group associated with hockey coach Jim Black are in camp for the week and are beginning to catch some nice fish. This just in, Ryan Cole, age 10, nabbed a girthy 27 inch pike off the front dock of the lodge.
-Tom Sherwin also caught a 28 inch pike and his son Phil scored a 20 inch walleye. Phil is currently the leader in the group's walleye derby. More results will be posted as the week progresses.

This Week's Improvements

-The hill cabins that were rented only on occasion, have recently been receiving some attention. The cabins have been freshly painted, landscaping is currently underway and new boardwalks have been built over the old ground paths. The cabins are being rented more frequently and the improvements have been made to meet booking demands.
-In case we forgot to mention, there is now a brand new pier to accomodate the Dogwood and Aspen cabins.
