[Border View Lodge]

We are wrapping up the soft water season today with our last charter trip of the season.  Maybe it is a good thing considering the temperature on the way into the lodge this morning said 14 degrees.  The small bays and creeks had a skim of ice on them this morning.

There has been a mix of fishing in the lake and fishing in the river again this week.  Those with the best success are staying in one place and waiting for the schools of Walleye to come by them.

Water temperature in the river has dropped to 41.7 degrees.  We have still been seeing shiners in the river, but it is mostly small ones that are coming to the net. With the temperature drop we are expecting that it should improve and provide bait for the winter.

This week should stay cool with overnight temperatures staying in the upper 20’s and daytimes getting up to 40.

We are working on many projects again this off season.  We will definitely have more new sleepers and outhouses on the lake this winter.  We are looking forward to a successful deer hunt this coming weekend and the days to follow, also we will try to get out to the fields somewhere and maybe find some Pheasants to provide us with some good meals.  We hope everyone has a great November.

From everyone here at Border View Lodge THANK YOU for a great summer season!  Next update will be reports on making ice!

FISH ON!
