Regular day schedule

​

• 6:00 am

  • Breakfast is served

• 7:00 am

  • After breakfast, if you have decided not to go with a shore lunch, you will be invited to the kitchen to prepare your lunch for the day.

  • You will walk the 50 yards to the dock where the lodge manager and the guides will have the boats ready to go. Each boat will have a full boat tank, extra fuel, depth finder with fresh battery, GPS-SPOT, seat cushions, life jackets, net or cradle. Everything you need for a great day of fishing.

  • Lodge Manager likes to be at the dock when you leave for the day and when you return after the day of hunting, to make sure you have everything you need or to hear about what you would like for the next time you go out.

• 7:30 am – 5:30 pm

  • Usually the first day is more of an exploration of various spots. Then, the rest of the trip, you expand on these spots. Each morning a weather report is published and available in the main lounge. Depending on weather you could head down to the south end of Munroe Lake to hunt in the Greening River or try out some spots in and around McKinnon Bay. You could decide to stay on the East side and call from the shores or go for a hike.

  • One day you might decide to stay on the West side, exploring Brownstone River, or Pike Bay.

• 7:00 p.m.

  • After supper, you can go for an evening hunt or fish for a few hours, go for a walk, or just relax in the main lounge. We just like to know where you are planning to go, for safety purposes.

• Bedtime:

  • When you are ready, you can retire to your room for the evening. Our guests tend to sleep very well, with all the excitement of fishing, good food, and fresh air.
