Welcome!
Greetings from a VERY snowy Fish River Lodge! This is the first of a series of "journal entries" from the lodge. It is our goal to keep you updated with what's going on up here: weather and seasonal changes, fishing and hunting reports, recognition of our most loyal clients and their adventures, and what not.
It's mid-February and we have received over 10 FEET of snow already! It started snowing in Mid-November and hasn't stopped! We've survived two January thaws and the snow settled a lot during cold spells (when temps bottomed out at -30) yet we still have 4 feet of snow on the ground to play in!
We had a very successful sled dog race January 25-26 - visit the race site at www.eaglelake100.com for all the details! The weekend of February 2 and 3, we hosted "the boys" (Steven Cox and Jason Leighton parties) from Down East during the Long Lake Fishing Derby. While no winning fish were caught from Fish River Lodge - the fishing on Eagle Lake was decent with several good sized salmon, togue, and brook trout caught through the ice. Snowmobiling is EXCELLENT - the best we've seen in the three winters we've spent in Eagle Lake. Ric and Kim Paupreto returned for their SECOND week of riding this season, February 8-17. They report that the riding is GREAT on "beautifully groomed and wide open trails, awesome scenery, and warm hospitality." They averaged about 120 miles of riding a day, saw lots of deer, enjoyed some amazing sunsets, and weathered two snow storms.
Wayne will be exhibiting our Fish River Lodge booth at the sportsmen's show in Springfield MA, the weekend of February 21-24. Rod Lebrecque, a long-time client, will help Wayne staff the booth - thank you Rod! If you're in the Springfield area the weekend of the show stop by and say hello to Wayne and meet Rod! You will find the Fish River Lodge booth in the Better Living Center, booth #720. While Wayne's away I'll be making sure things run smoothly at the lodge during a busy school vacation week. We're looking forward to the return of the Webber Family and Barb and Steve Ellis; both parties will be up snowmobiling for a second season. The weekend of March 1-4, is the CanAm Crown sled dog races. C'mon up race weekend - we will have several teams staying with us. You'll have an opportunity to meet the mushers and their teams!
We're looking forward to a very long snowmobiling season. We should be riding well in to April so it's not too late to plan a winter get-away! Check back regulary to read more journal entries from Fish River Lodge...
