It was mid-day and the wind was blowing, but not too hard. We had caught plenty of fish and were wanting to enjoy the sun and fish some more without working very much.. That’s when we spotted a nice long drift between the shore and an island. Checking it out with the depth finder, we saw big fish sitting on the bottom at 20, 22, and 24 feet. We headed back and positioned ourselves for the drift. With a slow drift and a minnow on a jig, my wife and I nailed walleyes in the 22 to 27 inch range. You can bet we’ll check this spot out again this summer!

Judy: Thanks for the note. In all probability we will bring the depth finder, we are currently working with the airlines, if we get stuck I’ll let you know. I just have to tell you, we have been working on this trip since March of 2001 and there is not one thing that we asked that you did not accommodate…..unbelievable. I’m looking at your brochure and based on all you have done for us maybe you might want to consider adding something to your “How do we do it” section of the brochure…..you should add something like……”We listen to what our guests want and find it difficult to say we can’t do that.” Thanks again and I will be in contact with you before you leave for the lake in May.
I would like to congratulate you on adhering to your slot limit, and catch and release program. We experienced fantastic fishing! Our best catch was Colleen’s Northern at 42 1/2″ with Don just behind her with 2 near that size- a 40 incher, & a 39 1/2 incher. Don also had 6 large Walleye over 24″, and one at 28 1/2″, all caught while Northern Fishing. We never tried for Walleyes and still caught around two hundred.
Thank you for our BEST fishing trip ever! It was everything promised! Our last trip to Canada was 17 yrs. ago and the fishing did not compare!
I just want to send you a note of thanks for the great time that my two sons and myself had this week at your lodge. You and your staff went out of your way to see to our comfort and to be sure that the fishing experience would be one to remember. It would be hard to say what was the best: the food, fishing, company, view or service.
I just wanted to say again, Thanks for a wonderful time. I really enjoyed my stay at Uchi.
Please convey my many thanks to April and Noah. They were very courteous and extremely polite. You all get, along with the lodge, my 5 star rating.
I hope the rest of the season is as great for all of you as my time there was for me.
This summers “Uchi Experience” was by far the best ever. The weather was great, the fishing was better than ever and most important I had my four sons, two son-in-laws and my fishing partner and good friend Jim along to share the “Uchi Experience”. You and your crew helped to make this trip a memory to be treasured by each one of us. Bob enjoyed it the most because he caught the most fish (139) second only to me of course. More importantly he got to spend quality time with his dad and brothers, something that doesn’t happen often enough since he lives in California. All totaled we caught and released close to 800 fish. We ate like kings thanks to you and your crew. I’m looking forward to next year’s trip. Enclosed are a couple photos of my gang. If you’re asked why there’s no fish in the photos, tell them we RELEASED them. Thanks again for treating us so special, we loved it.
Judy,
A note to let you know we had another “great” Uchi fishing experience.
Especially for me when I caught these 2 monsters back to back on the day before we left.
Have a great summer!
Dave Grant
