Early and mid-July

It's not that there were no fish caught during this period, it's that the fish caught didn't get their pictures taken or I haven't received them yet.  Actually, there were quite a few very nice crappie, bass and northern caught, especially for this time of the year.  The water was in the low 70* range and never got really warm like it does some year.

Glen Engel has never fished Girl Lake before but he thinks he may be back again.  He and three other friends were here for the week and they were catching fish and having a good time.  Then, Glen hooked into this beauty. 28" and just a tad over 7 lbs.

The next time anyone sees this fish it will be mounted on a piece of driftwood and sitting in Glen's den.

Then, just to prove it wasn't an accident, he caught a 22" fish the next day.

Randy and Barb Knight have been visiting the resort for several years now with Randy's Mom and sister and their kids.  Randy is one of the better and more successful bass fishermen I have come into the resort each year.

20 and 30 bass a day when no one else is catching much at all is not unusual for  him.  He fishes largemouth a lot but loves his smallmouth and this year, Woman Lake produced well for him.  This fish was 18 1/2 inches and was successfully released to get bigger.

We've posted many pictures of the Ferenz family on this page over the years.  Brothers Steve and Rob along with sister Jeanie first came to the resort with their parents back in the 70's, I believe, and then started coming back about 7 or 8 years ago with Steve's daughter, Tammy.  This year, Tammy brought along her whole family and they all had a great week. 

Tammy's husband, Brian, and son, Chase, are shown here with Brian's 25" walleye. They also caught another fish in the same size category.   Below (right) is Steve with a 26" walleye caught on Girl Lake.

Tammy is on the left below.  She is usually pictured kissing her fish but not this time.

Last year at this time, I was posting pictures of Patti Sahr and her large mouth bass on this page.  This year, it's Patti's son, Steven, and husband, Jeff. These were just a sample of the many fish these guys caught over their week with us.  Steven actually caught the most bass and had the biggest until Dad brought in this beauty.  You know what they say, "if you're only going to catch one, make it a good one".
