Some 2009 mail about our operations:
Hi, Brad & Karen,
I just thought I would drop a
note to tell you how much we enjoyed our fishing trip this summer.
The 4 of us caught and released almost 400 walleye that
ranged in size from 16 to 24 inches and 40 pike that was 24 to 43
inches in the week that we were there.

Hello Brad and Karen
Our trip into Metionga this year was again exceptional. Your hospitality and friendship are deeply appreciated by our annual fly in gang. This as you know was our 6th annual visit to one of your outposts and we are looking forward to our 7th annual trip to Metionga Lake next July. Stan, Evan, Irwin, Doug, Rob and Alan
Brad and Karen,
Thanks
again for another spectacular late season vacation. You guys are very
accommodating in all aspects of making sure we had a great fishing experience.
Randy was a great guide on the trip to Metionga. First time we have seen a bear
and a moose on the same flight.
Thanks much MS
Hi Brad and Karen!!
I TRULY admire your business
and how BOTH of you have nurtured it over all these years. You really do get to
feel like friends and family over time and that’s really neat.
I appreciate what a week up there
really means to me. It used to be about fish, but those thoughts are long gone
by now. Nowadays it is all about not hearing a cell go off, no texts, and, did
I say it?? ...no kids or family for a week. Yes, many many great memories
up at all the lakes, for sure. My guess is I have probably been thru Ignace
about 15 times. :) GB
Once
again I cannot express in words what a great time we had and how great of
a operation you run. Makes one feel like we are part of the family when we
come up for a visit!! Fishing being as great as it is does not hurt
either. EM
Good afternoon Brad.
I just wanted to let you
know how much I enjoyed this past week at your Sesaganaga outpost. As
always this lake produces big numbers and big fish. One goal I have for
every trip is to catch a 20+lb Northern and I am happy to report again this
year I achieved my goal (although in the best interest of the fish, I did not
take an exact measurement this year but believe it was ~45”). Over the
past few years we have caught and released 5 fish all 44” or larger out of this
same bay. Of course the Walleye fishing
was very strong with numerous fish in the 22” to 25.5” range.I also want to
extend my appreciation for how accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful Joe was
throughout the trip. Many times he went above and beyond to help us
out. He certainly adds to the experience! Please pass along our
gratitude to Joe.You guys run a top notch camp and I hope to see you again next
year.

This was my 30th trip to Metionga lake and each year the fish get healthier and consistently bigger by weight. It was great to see you guys and I am already looking forward to next year. Jim
Brad and Karen,
Thanks for providing us with a wonderful experience at Metionga Lake. The pilot
was excellent as were the cabin and John. And the fishing was super. I will
definitely recommend it to my friends.
Karen, the tarts were yummy!
Sincerely, RT
Here is a picture of the caribou we saw on Metionga on the 20th or 21st. Also here is the 29 inch walleye I caught. Thanks so much for another wonderful vacation! Dr. B D
Setser Party had the
best trip ever.
We caught 100s of
smallmouth bass. The size was exceptional this year.
I caught a walleye on a
topwater plug. My first walleye in Canada. PS
Hey Brad,
First of all, wanted you to know my family
had a great time at you outpost last week! I have talked to my Dad,
brothers and Uncle since we left…every one feels the same way. For the
last 19 years I have some real good friends that have been going to Lake Erie
walleye fishing the last week of July. This is our 19th year. Next
year for our 20th anniversary I am going to propose we go to your
outpost. GW
Had a great time - can't wait for next year! BH
We really enjoyed our trip
and are planning on returning next year. We are expecting a few others to
join us as well. Thanks for being such kind people and showing us a
unique part of the world. Your friendliness and people skills (ex. moose
roast, apple pie, tshirts, mtn. dew, etc.) are what drive us to return
back next year.
Thanks, DA
Brad and Karen,
Here are a few pictures from our
fishing trip this year. We had a wonderful time, and thank you again very
much. I am already looking forward to next year. Enjoy the
pictures, and we'll talk to you soon. RK
Some 2008 mail about our
operations:
I wanted
to thank you for a fine trip I had again this year with RS and company up to Flindt. The trip is
an awesome highlite every year. DJ08
Brad,
we had a great time! Good accommodations, good fishing-likely about 400 fish in
total for the 5 of us in 3 days-actually picked up about 25 between 9 and 10am
on Saturday morning just around the little island in front of the cottage while
we were waiting for Randy.
Thank you Brad, Karen and Randy for
everything you did to make it possible for Alan and me to have a wonderful stay
at
I loved the peace and tranquility together with the excitement of a living
wilderrness. Wow! You can't get that here in the Cities!
This,
our 13th overall trip, was the best ever. The fishing was simply
outrageous !!! In seven days, six fishermen caught something in excess of
1,400 fish. From the very first day on the water, the fish bit without
pause. No mid-day doldrums, no furious, short-lived peaks, no isolated spots.
They were everywhere with structure !!!
From our
first fly-in trip with Brad and Karen 4 years ago to this trip we haven’t
looked back, as every year has been absolutely perfect and we are anticipating
another fantastic experience with Ignace Air next year.
We all want to thank you for once
again providing a great and much needed vacation. …the flights, the fishing,
the accommodations and the hospitality once again were all first rate.
I just want to drop you a line to say what a great time me and my son had at Irene Lake. I am still reliving moments from the trip. I appreciate the hospitality you and your wife showed as well as the workers. I am recommending your outpost to people at work and friends. I am going to try to get the picture from my sons friend of the Northern he caught. M.W. 07
You folks provide a great service. I've been to Canada now 4 times, and by far your services are truly the best I've experienced. World Class as your web-site claims and my vote says this and more, stellar. D.K 07
Dear Karen and Brad, Thank you for a memorable vacation. To be able to spend time with my 11 year old son (who was afraid he wasn’t going to catch any fish!!!! -J), brothers, and nephews at such an outstanding and well run outpost was truly life refreshing. I looked back on some of my previous pictures when I got home and little did I realize it had been 13 years since by last visit to Flindt Lake. I can reassure you it will NOT be that long again. P.E 07
Just wanted to drop a note to let you all know that we and the Ouisconsin Club are so fortunate to have folks like you taking care of us when we come to spend time in your area. Things always seem to be such a rush of us wanting to get into and out of our spots and on the road, we don't have a chance or think at the time of what a great relationship we have and the truly fine service you provide. B.B. 07
We arrived back in Green Bay safely – got here at about 3AM yesterday morning. Most of the ride back home was spent talking about the fantastic time my brothers and I had at Flindt Lake…it is really a walleye factory. The accommodations and equipment were fantastic as well. J.P. 07
Once again we all had a great trip with absolutely no complaints. I am sure if we all had time we would stay an additional couple of weeks but then you guys may complain a little! Please thank all of your employees and of course thanks to you guys for another great experience. D.R. 07
Hi Brad and Karen, Just a quick word to thank you so much for your help in getting my sick brother out of Irene Lake last Friday. Your kindness and understanding is greatly appreciated. You made a scary situation much easier to deal with. J.J. 07
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the excellent hospitality I received… Overall this was an extremely pleasant experience and I just want to thank you very much for everything. B.C. 07
I would just like to thank you for an experience of a lifetime. This was my first time on a trip like this, and I had not been fishing in 30 years. The fishing was just out of this world. S.P. 07

Just wanted to Thank You for a wonderful time at Hilltop Lake!!! Thanks for arranging such great weather J for me to experience my first time “Fishing with the Guys” I loved all of it And would definitely do it again! The remoteness of it all was incredible and Hilltop was a lovely lake with great scenery!! J.L. 07
This was my first trip with your operation and I was very impressed. Everyone from your team at the base camp to Big John were GREAT, the lake facilities were the best, and the fishing excellent / even with the weather ( many fronts and storms). I'm planning on making the trip with the group next year. C.M 07
I can’t even begin to express how much I enjoyed this trip and catching this monster was the icing on the cake. You have done an outstanding job of hiring top notch people that understand how to keep their clients happy. Everyone from John to the pilots represent a first class operation that I hope to have the pleasure of enjoying again. J.R. 07
Thanks again for another very memorable trip. The sound accommodations were appreciated. I am looking forward to our next adventure already. T.B. 07
