Badger delivers again! We fished from 8am-1pm and limited out on rainbows. We must have hooked 25-30 fish, but between losing them at the boat, releasing small ones or them spitting the hook (several ...

Took the pontoons out on the 2nd day of season. For some reason all the boats around us were landing small rainbows, yet the two of us were hauling in 16" plus rainbows in the same area. I think the k...

Since this was the last day of the fishing season at Badger Lake, we wanted to end it with a flourish. We actually slept in (!!) and didn’t arrive at the lake until 7:00. The lake was flat with no w...

We dipped the Doghouse into The Drink before sun-up... A wee bit cool but what came afterwards made it well worth it. A little breezy at times, but as the sun came up the mist began to rise off the l...

The moon was like a huge macaroon on the horizon as we slipped The Doghouse into the still waters of Badger Lake. Since The Doghouse is a trailered boat-predator of trout, we appreciated the launchin...

We did it again--- I fished with monofilament line equipped with half-a-ton of weights (not really, but they sure bent the pole!) and the now-legendary wedding ring; my neighbor elected to fish with l...
