After our first trip in 2002, I thought that it was just good luck or timing that we caught so many fish: 4 men, 6 days, 609 fish caught. So we went back this year and WOW! 4 men, 6 days, 625 fish caught plus this 44 inch, 25 pounder, caught on 6 pound test l ine, and some large walleye from 25 to 27 inches long. You simply cannot beat the fishing here. And, with the service, it is just outstanding.
Yes, it was a great trip, we are currently planning to return next year with possibly more people. After everyone saw the fish pictures, they are now a little more interested, if you know what I mean. When are the other regulars coming up? Labor Day is September 6th and we may come up a week earlier. We’re still planning. Hope to see you at Pheasant Run next January.
Thanks again for providing such good service, food and fishing. I’m sure that your fishing rules and regulations are the main reason why fishing is so good.

Thanks for a great fishing adventure! Uchi was more than we expected… the hospitality, the service, the accommodations and the food were all awesome. Enclosed you will find some of the pictures we took during our stay. I am especially proud of the 29″ and 30″ walleyes!

Dear Judy, Cort and I just returned home from a trip we will never forget. We spent three days at your resort and I can honestly say there is nothing we would change. Everything you stated on your brochures was exactly the way we found it to be. The food was fabulous, the cabin was clean and comfortable, the boats and motors ran flawless and best of all the fishing was everything we had hoped it would be. We both thank you for a wonderful time.
P.S. I enclosed a couple of pictures you may want to hang on the lodge wall or use in your web site and a story of how Cort, only 14 years old, caught this big one:
Cort’s HUGE northern pike
… The second day we started to figure out what the big Northern were biting on and where they were located. After supper we went to the far North end of the lake. Cort (who is only 14 years old) was using a small weedless Silver Minnows casting into a weed bed in fairly shallow water. He hooked on to a fish and we couldn’t tell just how big it was till it swam under the boat and showed itself on the other side. We both could see it was a big one. I quickly tried to net it, which was a job in itself as the fish hung over both sides of the net. Just as it curled around and went into the net, it spit the lure out of its mouth. The hook had never been set, the Northern just clamped and held onto the lure as we pulled him into the boat. I laid it in the boat, measured it (40 inches) and took the picture which validated our catch. After releasing the big guy, Cort threw out two more casts to the same weed bed. On the third cast, he caught and pulled in a 38 incher of which we also have a picture of. An unvelievable 15 minutes of shing. We will be back to see you.
- Thanks again, Dan and Cort Lawson

Judy….A special thanks to you and your staff for completely living up to your goal of total customer satisfaction. The claims made on your web site and brochures were totally accurate. Everyone in our group was pleased with the accommodations, meals, friendly atmosphere and most importantly the quality of the fishing. This was a special trip for Matt and I, as it was celebrating his graduation from college. We look forward to future trips as time permits in our busy lives. Rest assured, when we book the next one it will be back to Uchi.

The week of June 19th that we were at Uchi brought 4 totally different weather days. . Day 1 was raining and windy but the fishing was great. We caught a lot of walleye on twister tails and 1/4 jigs in 1 to 15′ of water. The next day was a bluebird day with the fishing being tougher , but we fished the shaded areas and were successful with the same tackle. Day 3 brought a mixture of weather. We got to use our rain suits and had our best day of fishing. We fished the wind blown shores and caught fish on every cast during a couple hours sessions. Again a lot of plastic and some small crank baits.
That day I caught on the way to the shore lunch, in the span of 1/2 hour …… 31 1/2″ walleye (muskie rod and crank bait 6′ down fishing for Northern), next cast a 27″ walleye, next cast a 36″ Northern and then a hit on the surface and then a multiple fish follow up. Fishing continued to be good and finished up that way the next day. All in all we had the best fishing of the my 3 trips I have made. Every trip the fishing has gotten better, so we are counting on big things again.

We’re sending you a few pictures of some of the fish we caught during our 13th trip to Uchi. We had a great time and caught a lot of fish and lot of oversize walleye and northern pike. The fish keep getting bigger and fatter each year” This was our grandson’s second trip. He didn’t want to go home. Looking forward to next year

I’ll start off by saying that we caught over 650 fish for the seven days, mostly walleye but plenty of northern, too. Most of the walleye came out of 12 to 25 feet of water, mostly on submerged humps or ridges, and mostly fishing vertical, almost right under the boat, with twister tails, spoons, and twister tails w/minnows. Our walleye ranged all sizes up to 7 pounds, most of them being in the 15 to 20 inch range. We had many #3, #4, and #5 pounders as well.
Most of our northern came from the same spots as the walleye, sometimes hitting our walleye as we brought them in. But we did find a few places shallow, (7 feet or less, weedy bays) that we could catch northern and walleye on jerk baits, a couple of the walleye in the 5 pound range. Our largest northern was probably #11 pounds, with many #8’s, #9’s, and #10’s, but most of those were at night.
The conditions during our trip (August 17-23) had the lake with plenty of water, mostly between 61 to 66 degrees, and not a lot of exposed weeds. We had a couple days of rain and wind, but the weather didn’t seem to affect the fishing adversely at all, even on the bright, clear days. At one point in the trip, we were sitting on one of our favorite spots, (a place we caught 80 fish on one day without moving the boat more than 30 feet) and watched another party barely a hundred and fifty yards away catching fish as consistently, sometimes more consistently, than us. it was amazing, so many fish. We had another great trip and want to thank you for your hospitality and the warmth and friendliness of the wonderful staff that took care of our every need! A truly wonderful experience. Have a great sport-show season and don’t work too hard.
