Report: Great trip. Stable weather all week. High temp 85 degrees, low of 51. Fished all the lakes. L & M's catch and release policy's are really paying off with number of quality fish during our trip. Big pike of the week, 41 inches. Walleye 26 inches. Been doing fly ins for 20+ years. L & M is the best outfitter in the north. Completely reliable. Top notch equipment in perfect shape. Thanks Shane!

Report: Excellent facilities, lots of room. 2 stoves, 2 fridges, lots of space. Plenty of hot water. Fishing, "Well", thought I would never tire of catching walleyes but exactly that on our trip. Largest pike 36 inches, largest walleye about 6-7 pounds. Had a great time. Broke a fishing pole fishing right from the dock while trying to catch a fish I hooked.

This wraps up L & M's 2008 season. Hope everyone viewing my reports enjoyed reading them and found them helpful. I flew out our last group of fishermen this morning to "offically" end our fishing season. If anyone has any questions during the off season, feel free to let me know as Ill gladly try to answer or comment on any questions. I hope to do the same thing next year for 2009 with posting fishing reports on this web site for those who want to check back next season.

Hey Shane~ I enjoyed reading through the reports over the course of this season. You guys run a great operation up there, and I look forward to seeing you again sometime in the near future. Except for the liquor stores closing at 6:00, we had a blast on our Wright trip in July. Enjoy your hunting season and good luck to ya!!

Thanks Jeff, funny you mention the liquor store. I still have that bottle of Yukon Jack on reserve, I tried to pawn that bottle off to acouple of other groups who wanted more liquor for they're trip, yet, no one wanted it. Have a good winter, stay in touch.
