Welcome to Spring!! Bays opening up and there have been some reports of northern being caught. Good time to get out there for the big ones. The Resort will open for the 2004 season on May 10th. Once again there has been alot of concern with the lower water,as we are. We want to assure everyone that the Resort "will have" low water access. See you soon. Kelvin, Laura & family

Ice fishing was once again short lived. Ice is getting bad with the nice weather we have been having and permanent houses need to be off the 15th of March. Occasional northern caught through the ice. Minneapolis Sport Show the 2 - 7th of March at the Convention Center. Visit us at booth #853. Anxious for summer, make your reservations now. Kelvin, Laura and family

Check out the Bismarck Sport Show, Feb. 6 - 8 and come visit us at Booth #3. Need a reservation for the summer, give us a call. Laura, Kelvin and family
