Oct 5th – 11th

Hello Everyone!!
We are certainly enjoying the fall season here at Dale’s On Lake of the Woods!

Colors are just vibrant and so have the Northern Lights.

We enjoyed the company of Jon – CS#8, Pat – CS#1, and Dear Jody – CS#10 over the last couple weeks!

Yesterday we welcomed James and his good friend in CS#9 and along with AJ and his family in CS#12B.

We just had the pleasure of Kurt, Dan, Troy, and Kenny checking in with more guys on their way All with duck hunting and fishing on their minds!!!

It is that time of the year and we love hearing the sound of the shotgun’s in the morning and throughout the day! Just like deer hunting, early to rise, lunch around noon and maybe a nap, then back out in the duck blind until dusk.

WISHING ALL WHO ARE WITH US A SUPER FUN WEEKEND AND WISHING YOU GOOD HUNTING AND FISHING!!

Life is good.

We are getting a pretty good number of calls for ice fishing.

Please know you are able to book by just a phone call to me,

Harbor Construction Update!

We have been working everyday making great progress

on our Harbor Construction!!

We so appreciate the great help our team member, Tom,

 gives to us each week,

what a blessing!

We are working on constructing the channel from the harbor towards the lake and will be lining the interior walls with Geo-textile fabric – finishing with rock armoring.  Dale and Tom have just done a remarkable job with all the dirt work.  The calculations and laser work and then digging and moving dirt to designed specifications – just an amazing experience.

North Star Electric here and moved the Light Pole to it’s new shoreline location just a short distance to the West!

Working on the channel from the Harbor towards the lake channel/groynes.

We welcomed our Guests who arrived last evening

Campers set up and the campfire was going just as the sun set. 

What a beautiful site to see that campfire glow as the day turns to night. 

I love my job of stacking firewood! Makes it easy with the Bobcat!!

Our Guests have been enjoying some nice day’s of fishing. Vicki out fished the boys with 2 catch and released of 21inch walleyes yesterday 9.12.24.  Way to go Vicki!! Windy today so they headed for the river.  We had a wonderful time with John, Clint, and Paul this week, sad to see them go – but boy did these guys have a blast fishing!  We were surprised with a meal of cooked battered fish for lunch on Tuesday- what a treat! Thank you, guys!!

John – Clint – and Paul enjoying CS#5. 3 buddies enjoying camping-fishing-relaxing. Saddened that one of their good friends passed away leaving a hole in the trip but will always remember their times together. Making the best of each day. Sorry for your loss guys!

We enjoyed a quality time at the beach bar with our Guests, we try to make it for the sunset every night. 

Tomorrow is our Saturday Treat Day at the Beach Bar- We haven’t picked a time as of yet, but we have been picking 6 p.m. after everyone is in from a day of fishing.

 

Our Guests Pat and Karla who headed home yesterday left us a wonderful bag of apples from their apple tree and I am going to make my Mom’s Apple Crisp for our Guests for our Saturday Treat Day.

A Huge Thank you to our Team Member TOM S.  – he gave us 3 awesome days of help this week and we are
