The climbing tree is mostly gone but at least for a time part of it remains.

It is with a heavy heart that we tell you our wonderful 'climbing tree' is coming down this morning. I'm posting a couple of pictures taken yesterday of Kate and Charlie posing by it. I hope to post more of the process later today. 😭😭😭

With gratitude for all our guests this Thanksgiving day we offer this photo of several inches of fresh snow while the lake is till deep blue and open. The geese are taking full advantage for as long as they are able.

The annual McCall family vacation final picture on the infamous tree. It was a busy couple of weeks for them.

Almost halfway done with springs biggest job, feeling good. It's beginning to look a lot like summer!

The ice is out and the docks are going in! Get ready, the walleye opener is in three weeks. In the meantime, crappie fishing is at its best.

Winter is coming to a close and the ice fishing was exceptional this year. Now time to look forward to spring and summer. If you're thinking of getting to the lake this year, we have some late June and August openings. Give us a call (218-864-8173), email us ([email protected]) or message us here if you're ready to catch some summer fish. 🙂

You know the season is about to open when the docks start going in the water. Charlie and Thorny hard at work. The resort is waking up.

A 40 mile an hour wind from the NW is making short work of any ice that might be lingering on the lake. This is the earliest ice out on Clitherall Lake in my recollections of 39 years here.

On March 3 we had open water along the shore and large open areas out farther. Although the temperatures have gotten cooler at night, and the open water skims over in the overnight, the shoreline has stayed open. If this continues, we could have ice off a month early this year. Time to get your fishing gear organized.
