We had a great trip to Coles Lake.  Everything went well with the weather, cabin and boats.  The fishing was very good as we caught some of the biggest Walleye of our 48 trips to Canada.  The biggest fish which had an "official" measurement was caught by Wendell.  It measured 25+ and was very heavy.  Lonnie caught the "unofficial" Queen Walleye of 27 plus.  Eli's fish was so large that I could not get it in the boat.  (We did not leave the net behind anymore after loosing that fish!)  We caught several 21-23" Walleyes and Wendell caught a 36+ Northern.  The big fish were caught in high wind conditions on either diving or shallow running shad raps.  Many of the 21-23" walleye were caught on 2 1/2" sassy shads or 2 1/2" fluke or Berkley minnows. 

Our food supply was great and planned out almost to the hour.  The cabin was great with the best camp shower we ever had and the boats ran great.  The side trip to August Lake was "awesome" as Eli would say.  With Mike's help, we caught near 150 fish in about 3 hours.  Nearly all were Walleye in the 18-24" range.  It seemed Eli was saying "got him" every 3 minutes. 

Altogether, we figure we caught 800 plus fish.  The Eagles, Osprey, Gulls, Whiskey Jacks, five Loons and 2 chicks, a pine squirrel all provided an array of sights and pleasure. 

Thanks for all you did to make our trip very enjoyable and memorable.  We all realize you did more, a lot more, than what was required.  This is what makes you premier outfitters but more importantly "special friends".  We hold your kindness a dear.  We look forward to our trip this fall to Kenoji.
