Our guests that stay in Cedars log home every opener have been sticking with us even when the fishing was slow on Leech Lake.  This year was their 11th year at the resort.  When I told Mike about our blog he replied “Here’s your quote ‘Leech Lake is Back’.”  As many of you have probably heard since the opener, last weekend the fishing was outstanding.  Our guests said it was their best year ever and rebooked for next year.  Fishing opener 2010 is May 15th and Mother’s Day will be May 9th for a change.  We have four cabins available.

Anglers were fishing in about 9 - 10 ft of water using a green jig and shiner or Lindy rig with a shiner.  Weather was cloudy and misty, just like we have today.  The 9 guys in Cedars caught 86 fish, a little more than 1/2 were 20″ to 27″, while the other half were keepers.  Best year they ever had was the comment they had.  Thanks to you guys and look forward to having you back.

Many areas of the lake were producing fish, Pine Point, about 300 yards from the resort, Goose Island, about 1/4 mile, and the Hardwoods stand out as the spring hot spots.  Other areas were Agency Bay, by the Roosevelt Canal and the souteast end of Trader’s Bay.

Our friend and seasonal mobile home guests, Dave and Tammie called to say what a great week-end they had with their guests.  Thanks for the call Tammie and I have turned the comments area on for any that would like to comment.

We have two or more night openings May 17 - June 20, all good spring fishing dates.  After June 20 we have weekly openings available.  Beginning Sept 5 we are back to 2 or more night stays.  We also have one seasonal mobile home site available.  Only 10 allowed on our property, which is never overcrowded.  We collect your garbage and clean your fish for you too!

Stay tuned for this week end’s fishing update and get to the lake!

By 10 am, when this photo was taken from our deck, many fisherman and woman had caught dozens of walleye.  A grey day with one real sprinkle, chilly out on the lake, although the catching made for having a great time.  The weather cleared by 5 pm and we are hoping for good weather tomorrow. 

We have about 30 guests in right now, most of them fishing in about 16 feet of water off of Pine Point , a hot spring fishing spot.  Other places producing fish are around Goose Island and the Hardwoods of Leech Lake.  Using a shiner and jig or lindy rig drifting and trolling.  Pretty calm winds tucked in behind Pine Point on west side of Trader’s Bay.

                             Steve, my husband and the dock boys pictured here, clean all of our guests fish and package them for travel if you prefer.  Leave the fish cleaning to us, Steve is a licensed fish packer and is proud of his no bone walleye filets and Y boned northern pike. 

Guests today said each boat was keeping about 50% of what they caught.  Many boats catching 25 or more walleye.  Jumbo perch and northerns were seen in the live well today along with the many walleye.

We have openings this coming week.  Our rate is $40 a person per night with a minimum of four guests.  Our covered protected harbor fee is $25 a day.  We (I should say Steve) will launch your boat, store your trailer, clean the fish, gas the boat and trailer it out for you before you depart.  Can’t beat that with a stick.

Okay, it is getting late (for me) and I am getting punchy, time to sign off and I will post more photos tomorrow.
