Froggy's Sports For Sale November 14 2014 We have been trying to sell Froggy's on our own and now have decided to list it with a good friend of ours Tomy Hegland of Grimes Realty in Bemidji.  The Old Toad and I are just getting worn out.  Ideally it would be nice to sell Froggy's and then be able to work there a couple days a week. The asking price...

Veterans Day November 11 2014 Thanks so much to all the veterans past and present for your service!  Have a happy Veterans Day.  God bless you. Froggy and the gang

Deer Hunting Deer opener was a windy rainy day.  This morning we woke up to a cool crisp morning with a couple of inches of snow and the sun is shining.    I can't even describe it.  This north country is just beautiful! Reports we heard on deer hunting yesterday was poor.  I think with the rainy windy day the deer were laying low.  I would think t...

Deer Hunting November 4 2014 Not much fishing going on right now.  Everyone is excited for the big deer opener this weekend.  We are seeing lots of campers and four wheelers going through town to the deer camps. We wish you all a safe and successful deer hunt!  Froggy and the gang

Fishing Report October 23 2014 Sounds like another great weekend coming up.  Hope you will be able to get out and enjoy this awesome Fall weather.  Not too many fishermen out this week but those who are seem to be doing okay. Everyone is starting to gear up for the deer opener already.  Stop in and say hi when your in the area. Good fishing! Frogg...

The opener was quite different this past opening weekend.  The water level is very high and the surface temps were quite cool in the low 60′s.   We caught big fish on reefs when it was cloudy and now the sun is finally out and the temps are risking nicely which should even make the fishing better. Yesterday a guest of ours who never been fishing fo...

Water temps here in the Canadian shield country are rising and we are at 57 degree now up from 52 degrees the other day. We’ve been seeing some real giant muskies in the shallows.  It’s so much fun to see them again.  They are not pairing up yet but they are just feeling the warmth and sunning themselves.  The spawn should peak here shortly.  The s...

I was able to fly into camp last Tuesday with partial ice cover on the lake.  Lynn and the rest of our staff came in on Thursday.  With the assistance of our great friend Dean Nelson and his son Jack we were able to get camp set-up in a couple of days busting it from sunrise to sundown.  Our first guests have already arrived and the Lake Trout bite...

Our good friend Rusty flew over camp yesterday and you can see the ice is still present.  May be a few more days.  A little wind and rain combo should take care of it.  Be nice if the sun would show up this spring as well! ~ Don

Two years in a row late ice out is keeping us in a holding pattern to get into camp and get the lodge open! The long term average ice out for Rowan lake us usually the last week in April – first week in May. The good news is it won’t be long! Ice conditions have rapidly deteriorated the past couple of days and we hope to get into camp this coming w...
