Has anyone here went there? Up near Pelican lake from what I understand? My Boss has booked us a trip for 3 days up there, I cant wait!

What was your experience like up there?

Sorry about the long time to post the reply. Moosehorn Lodge was one of my best trips to Canada I have had. Cabins are decent, food is good and service is top notch. Boats are 18', w/50 Honda's and transom mount trolling motors. They are cleaned each day, gassed and ready to go each morning.

Fishing was excellent:

3 guys for one week

374 walleye, 25 over 20", 26" largest
40 northern, 5 over 30', largest 36"
3 smallies, 16-20"

Ok, here we go.

We left Saturday morning from Bemidji, Mn. After a long delay at the border, and another 3 hours up in Canada, we arrived at the Moosehorn Lodge. THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! great people.

I fished off the dock that night and caught 5 Walleyes right there, biggest was 17".

Sunday morning we headed out to the Frog Rapids area, caught a couple including a 25" by Lon in the other boat. They headed in but Myself and Cory stayed out till dark. Caught about 15, alot in the slot though (18-21)

So Monday morning came around, we ran into a guide who had an opening cause of a last minute cancel, thanks whoever you are. The Guides name is Collin, he works for Moosehorn. It was POURING and near 35 mph winds, but I was ready. After 2 stops, he had us on Eyes. During the day both boats had maybe 50 Eyes, biggest was my 23"

. So after a tough wet morning we set up for shore lunch. There was a interesting looking bay with alot of logs in it, so I tossed a Long cast Rapala into the area, first cast BANG. 36 1/2" Pike

Slot is 28-36 but I let er go. Went back, maybe 2 casts later BANG another which I never seen, was taking drag like the first. Got wound up in that log jam . Tried but couldnt get at it.
Here is another nice pike caught earlier.

After lunch, the fun began. Going for Eyes We all seen this 42" Pike come up to the boat and NAIL the jig Cory was reeling in. Very cool! After a long fight we got it, and of course released it.

An Hour later the 43 came on a spoon, had a huge cut on the back from a prop ot another fish?! Here is Lons big fish.

Awesome time, I went out looking for a Laker that night, was marking tons of fish in 50' of water, Im thinking cool. WALLEYE! The darkest ones Ive seen. Anyways, awesome trip .

Great pics. They got me ready to go and looking forward to leaving on the 18th. Any insight on where you were catching the fish? What part of Minnitaki did you hit? How is the Abram's Chute this year with the water a little higher? Anything you got would be great.

Again, great pics and glad you enjoyed it. If you would rather exchange info by email you can reach me at [email protected].

Thanks
