LOON LAKE LODGE

At Loon Lake Lodge you are surrounded by the unspoiled wilderness of the Minnesota north woods. The Gunflint Trail area, where we are located, has changed little over the years. It is much the same as it was over a hundred years ago. The calls of loons, the hoot of owls, the eerie howl of a wolf on a moonlit night and the breeze whispering through the trees will take you back to a much simpler and less hurried time.

Fishing is still very good!

7:38 PM



Over the past couple of weeks we have had a number of people out fishing. The Miller party had a good deal of luck over by the river. The top picture is one of Johnathon with a nice northern. The second picture is of Steve who works for us and has caught the fishing bug. He has caught a number of nice northerns and a few decent bass. The Clasen party just checked out today but they caught a nice variety of fish. Wayne caught lake trout, northern, small mouth bass and even a walleye. Yes I know it is hard to believe a walleye on Loon Lake but strange things do happen.




Camp is full tonight. The weather has not been cooperating with people camping so we always get a few people looking for a dry place to sleep. That is great with us because sooner or later most people give up that crazy camping idea and want to vacation someplace with a nice bed and a warm shower and have we got a deal for them.

Fish are biting!!

6:52 PM


Sorry I haven't been keeping up on my blog. May flew by and here it is June. The ice went out late. Our first guests had to fish over by the river because that was the only open water on opening day!!! The bay was clear of ice by the 11th of May and the main lake went out on the 15th. In the last couple of years we were ice free by the 19th of April.


We have had a good number of big northerns caught in the bay over the last couple of weeks. Our son Adam got this 42 inch monster in just 2 feet of water over by the river coming in from Little Iron. Jerry Hinkle-Johnson brought in a very nice 38 inch northern off our dock last weekend. As you can tell this is the time of year to get the bigger fish when they are up in shallow water. Surface temperature today was 50 degrees. Still a little cold for swimming.


Adam's father-in-law Jack got the nice lake trout off our pontoon dock. Jack has been up a couple of times since the season open and each time he catches two of nice lake trout in about the same spot. Why change?


We still have some good openings in July. Give us a call if we can help out on your vacation plans, 1-800-552-6351.
