The snapshots of family ties have been abundant lately... A young family coming here for the first time navigating the newness of everything & learning to tie knots together; Grandpa-father-son sharing a boat and heckling one another on who caught more fish; a yearly family reunion of fourteen from three states meeting here and sharing fish fries, daily meals, and sitting on the dock; The uncle bringing nieces this year cause the nephew already had his turn; the friends that

We are full throttle in the thick of summer. Kids AND adults jumping off the docks, cabin fans blasting, a visit to Whiskey Jack for ice-cream and air conditioning, mayfly hatches coming and going just as quickly, blueberries ready for the picking, water toys getting used by all, water temps gradually climbing to upper 70's, and the cabbage weeds finally developed for more of that summer fishing bite.

Water temps climbed quickly from the 40's to 60's; weeds are starting to develop; the crappies were hot for a short stretch; the perch bite pic

Welcome to the 2026 fishing season! Wow- it's been a whirlwind since we got up to camp about 5 weeks ago. In this first blog of the season, you'll see everything happening at Tall Pines in the month of May- opening week fish pics, and a look at the late ice-out pre-season activities. Opener week started off very strong, and we are glad our anglers were awarded for putting up with some colder than normal temps, and some added nervousness due to such a late ice out. The water
