Happy 4th Everyone!

It's hard to believe that it is already the first week of July! The season is FLYING by this year and we are really enjoying ourselves at Tetu. Guests are happy, fishing is good, weather has been pretty good, so I certainly can't complain about a thing!

I was in the states last week going to pick my mom up. She is back here at Tetu and loving it! She eats walleye every single day that she is here on her visits north. It's so awesome that Mom will be 80 years old in September and still able to make the trek north with us every year. We feel so blessed that we can still share Tetu with her and she and I will go fishing soon when it slows down some.

The progress on the lower deck is coming along, slowly but surely. The railing system has begun and looks marvelous. I am still amazed at my husband's skills he possesses and can use here on the resort. (even after all these years!)

I wish I could list all of our Master Anglers lately but would like to mention a few:

Art Moglowsky- 18 1/2 inch smallmouth
John Tschida- 28 1/2 inch walleye
Chuck Blanski-29 inch walleye
Bobbi Blanski-41 inch northern pike
Noah Check-17 inch smallmouth
Cole Fischer-20 inch smallmouth!
Sharon Zarrett-42 1/2 inch northern pike!

As you can see, the fishing here at Tetu has been really consistent and we're seeing some nice sizes and the numbers are up! We're using bottom bouncers, trolling cranks and the smallmouth are loving anything with an orange bottom.

Saksay even managed to get out fishing with Bob and Sharon Zarrett and finally made the Master list with a 26 1/2 inch walleye last week! Congrats, Sak! He finally proved he can fish ALMOST as well as he cooks! Our staff LOVES it when the Zarretts are at Tetu, Sharon bakes so many special treats for the staff and I wish all of you could taste these delicious bakery goods she makes! Her fudge is to DIE for!

We're excited to be getting ready for a couple of our larger groups in July. We will soon have the FRANKS party back for their second trip of the season, the Tom Bredesen Crew is due soon, and we're looking forward to Dave Neubauer's group-Healthsource coming the 21st. Today a great group from Pekin Insurance arrive and will be here until the 8th. Rob Hunt and his crew from Wayzata Rotary come in on the 8th as well and we can't wait to show these guys our view of "fishing in Canada at Tetu Island Lodge!"

We just had an opening come up, it is from the 14th of July until around the 18th-We have room for 6 fishermen and if you would like to give us a call or email, we'll be MORE than happy to fill this spot and give a really nice deal-

We hope that you are enjoying your holiday with family and friends. I'm on my way over to the dining room with all of my red, white and blue decor!
