We have really done a sorry job in keeping up with regular posts here. Bottom line, we've been extremely busy thanks to you. While other camps seem to be slow, our business is booming! We still have full camp right now, which is great! Thank you!
For those of you regulars, some of our weeks for June 2010 are getting full, so if you would like to snatch your week's trip, just let us know. We'll pencil you in for now.
As for fishing, its been a very cool summer, overall, so a lot of the weed structure is not to the norm. Last week, the walleye were suspended, pretty much all over the lake, but they are still biting. Just having to fish them different. We had a great group of guys in last week.
Took Caden & Tyler out fishing this evening and the walleye are still close to the surface. Walleye fishing was excellent tonight. Not the norm for this time of year but the weather's not been normal all year. We don't mind the temps as much because I hear that some of you have contended with some record heat this summer...glad to be here...we'll keep our highs in the 60s and 70s.
Again, check out our Facebook page for Bear Trail!

Update to Week 10 - July 19, 2009
The weather here has been less than desirable with cool temps in the 50s and low 60s for daytime highs and down into the 40s at night. Today has been the warmest day in a couple weeks with temps going up to 72 degrees. The water temps are in the 50s and low 60s, which is a lot cooler than it typically is this time of year.
The fronts coming through here have slowed the walleye a bit but the guys are still picking up their shore lunch limits... The northern have not been affected too much, with lots of numbers being caught throughout. The smallmouth are being picked up out there with some of those still having eggs, so the fronts pushed them off the beds a little too early.
As for now, the weather's beautiful and the walleye numbers are picking up by the day. Keep in touch with us if you guys have any questions about your upcoming trips!

Update to the End of Week 8 - July 8, 2009
Sorry so long since our last update. Lots has happened since the storm that moved through the weekend of June 28th. The fishing was really messed up for a few days with most out on the water on Monday, the 30th.
The smallmouth drive-in lake produced lots of fish on Thursday of last week. We had some better fishing mid-week of that same week after the wind calmed a bit, with a number of folks taking home their walleye/northern limits. The water temps cooled down from 75 degrees before the storm to about 62 degrees afterwards. The water temp is now hanging at about 66 degrees, which is still unseasonably cool.
This week started off with sunshine on the 4th of July and a nice "interesting" fireworks show for all of the new guests...you had to be here to understand the inside joke there!
With all the sunshine, comes great vacation weather and decent fishing for most in camp. Lots of big walleye being caught w/ the biggest this week at 28 1/2 inches. The northern are giving everyone plenty of action with some big perch being caught, as well, this week. The muskies are still a little hungry w/ several stories of swipes this week of fish being reeled in.
Today, Casey took a Oklahoma Group to the walleye drive-in lake and they all caught their limits plus all the fish for shore lunch. Simple jig and a minnow...works every time!!!
We'll keep you posted...some of you can drop us an e-mail if you need more frequent updates....
