Hope this finds you all well and enjoying your summer. The Tetu summer is passing quickly and we've been really lucky with the beautiful weather this season. Of course, compared to LAST summer, anything would be an improvement!

We had a great group here this past week, The Healthsource Group-The guys had plenty of fun and some really nice fish caught and released!

Gerry Viere had a nice day yesterday, with a 40 inch pike, her largest yet!

Dick and Dan Edmonds have had great luck with the smallies this week fishing with Matt. Their largest so far is a 19 inch, also a beautiful 18 inch, caught on tubes. This is the first trip to Tetu for them and they are certainly putting a squeeze on the bass!

The Kruskopf Crew are back and loving every minute! This is about the 6th trip for Dave and Kate and Dave caught and released a huge 28 inch walleye yesterday!

The water level has risen about 14 feet since we opened in June. Fishing has been pretty good although we have seen the pike numbers drop off some the past couple of days. Could be the constant and ever changing fronts in and out of here the past 48 hours!

Staff has been taking their vacation times while we are slow. Mitch, Amanda, Marsha, Tod and Pierre are all due back today, with Tracey and Greg coming back tomorrow. It's a good time for the hard working staff to take a break, as we have a good 60 days yet to go for the season!

Ed is handing out some nice discounts for later in the fall, if anyone would like to try some fall fishing. It can really be awesome and it's so beautiful that time of year up here!

Josh and Jan Roundsley, owners of Thorne Brothers in Blaine, MN are here and we are expecting BIG news from them on the fishing! You ought to see the amount of equipment these people have with them! The guides are drooling !

Daughter Kate is spending her vacation with us this week, she and I managed to get out and walleye fish, with me getting a 26! My largest for the year, however, I might add that it is the ONLY time I have been in a boat all season! Kate would rather fish for pike and muskie and she will find time to do some of that late today or this evening.

I still go down to the dock and marvel at the beautiful, new deck that Ed and the boys have built. Ed continues to amaze me with his talents and dedication! (just don't tell him that!)

We're excited to welcome the SAM RUFFOLO CREW, they are arriving today via Winnipeg. Sam has been a VIP here at Tetu for years and is bringing some family and friends for their first trip to Tetu! Thanks, Sam!

Walleyes have been active on bottom bouncers with crawlers. Pike loving the spinner baits. Smallies on tubes-!

GREAT TIMES AT TETU!

Take care, everyone- Take one day at a time and let's all try and remember how lucky we are to be HERE!
Happy Birthday, to my BIG sis, Teri!
