"Fishing from
the Lac Seul Floating Lodges was one of the Best Fishing Experiences I've
ever had. Absolutely First Rate! I landed & released a
4lb. Small-mouth on Sept. 27 - my Biggest Ever!
Thanks for a Great Time!"

"When I caught my first big fish, I told my Grandpa to take the pole, it was too heavy. He said "no, you can do it". He helped hold the pole, but I reeled and reeled and then my Grandma netted it. It was the hugest fish I ever caught! It was 23 ½ inches." | |

"I also caught
a 12 inch perch. I caught a whole bunch of fish! I also like watching
the loons, seagulls and especially all the eagles. We saw 10 eagles.
I saw three baby beavers swim to the island we were on. My trip was
AWESOME!!"

back every year due to the great service we get from Dave and Irene as
well as everybody else who works for Lac Seul Floating Lodges, this is
by far the way to go fishing, never have to worry about getting wet or
cold, always have a nice place to come back to and dry off or warm up after
a hard day of fishing. Thanks"

| For years someone
who I refer to as "Uncle" Jim has often invited me to go on a Lac Seul
adventure with some of his friends from the Bemidji area. You see, Jim
and his family own hunting land next to my family's hunting property and
I have known him since I was about 2 years old. Jim is one of the best
woodsman/outdoorsman I have ever had the honor to spend time with. His
group has been doing this houseboat trip for 22 straight years on Lac Seul.
Often at the hunting shack stories are passed around of me fishing a lot
of different waters in the state, and Jim's houseboat trip to Lac Seul.
Finally, last year I made up my mind to go on this particular adventure.
I drove up to Bemidji on the Friday before Labor Day and spent the night at Jim's house. Ten of us, pulling five boats left Bemidji at 4AM Saturday and were at the border in International Falls about 6AM. Crossing the border was a snap, but the boarder guards are pretty firm with their questioning. We arrived at Lac Seul Floating Lodges in Hudson, Ontario about 10:30 or so and began to unload all of our gear. The boat was fantastic and the resort owners were super friendly. I would HIGHLY advise anyone thinking of a Lac Seul adventure to contact Lac Seul Floating Lodges to set up your trip. Now to the fishing! After towing the boats up the lake for roughly 3 hours, we parked the houseboat on an island for the night and set out for a couple hours of fishing. Being a "rookie" on this trip I tagged along with another boat to get the lay of the land so to speak. All boats caught a few walleyes and a bonus smallmouth or two. The early part of the trip was filled with lots of walleyes and a couple pike in the upper 30's. If I were to guess from Sunday through Tuesday, mosts boats averaged 75-100 walleyes per day. Late in the day after moving the houseboat up Lac Seul to another area the weather switched and the clouds/rain/wind would begin to set in. It didn't seem to slow the walleyes yet, as I fished the evening and probably had my best fishing of the trip with walleye after walleye for a good 2 hour stretch before sundown. On Wednesday we made a day trip to a smaller lake. Most fished for walleyes while my fishing partner and I set out in search of some pike, and found those to be on the bite big time!!!! "Pistol" Pete and I boated roughly 40 pike with some real BIG ones thrown in. A lot of the pike were in the upper 30" range and thick! The big fish of the week was also hooked and landed by myself at just a tad over 41"... an Ontario Master Angler Pike. Thursday and Friday were pretty tough conditions, but late in the day on Thursday I found several large pods of bait fish off of a rocky shore with a few scattered walleyes mixed in. Friday morning I went back to that area and the fish were biting very aggressively for a coule hours, and we finished off our limits there. During our trip jig/minnows were by far what the walleyes wanted. I used a VMC jig or a Northland fireball in Blue/Pearl, Parrot, Chart, and Chart/Orange in 3/8 oz the majority of the trip. The depths ranged from 16ft - 40ft, with the majority of the fish coming between breaks in 20ft to 28ft of water. The pike I caught were all on the black bucktail with a silver blade or black with an orange blade burned over the tops of cabbage. What a FUN trip! Thanks again "Uncle" Jim!!!
