Fishing

The fishing stories that add to the history of our lakes are legendary.  But pictures and tales tell only part of the story.  Our lakes have a long history of exceptional fishing that can only be truely understood by experiencing them yourself.
Catch a glimpse of a stringer of fish with smiles attached to the ends and you can feel the legends grow.  Come....and you'll create your own memories on our lakes.



Each "Up North" resort can provide you with equipment you need to get on the water and also let you in on a few fishing "secrets" to give you a better chance of success.  Whether you are looking for an excuse to sit on the water and work on your tan, put a meal of fresh fish in the pan, or a trophy on the wall, our resorts are at your service.

For young and old alike, fishing is just plain fun.  It's also relaxing, entertaining, challenging, sometimes frustrating, and other times very exciting.  That realization that you have a "big" fish on the other end of your line has gotten more than one heart pumping.  Our "Up North" resorts are located on some of the finest fishing waters in the state.  Crappies, Bluegills, Walleyes, large and small mouth Bass, Northerns and Muskie populate all of our lakes.
