I mentioned this to Drew on the phone last night; you run a top notch outfit! The drivers Max and Tom were excellent and the snickers/sodas were a nice touch! I have attached a photo of Mike with his new friend Marge a 10 pounder – 33” taken out of Bald Eagle. The walleyes were biting well, some on jigs/leeches at 12 feet but most of them on rapalas trolling in 6-9 feet of water. Thanks again for a fun weekend! Pete Miller |

Stories from the Great Northwoods
"A thousand thanks to you guys! We sincerely appreciate your kind and knowledgeable staff. We couldn't have had more fun. (Well if the weather was nicer, but you tell me when you guys can start controlling that!) The trip was exactly what we were looking for. Lots of good fishing and short portages for the old man. The food was great! It was a lot easier to prepare than I expected and tasted amazing. We were never hungry! In fact we had to make extra meal times to even try and eat all the food. We will definitely use Piragis again and refer all our buddies for a great time. Thank you to Drew and they other guys!" Mike, Jake and Steve Thelin "This was our 21st trip through Piragis Northwoods. We really like their friendly staff and appreciate their knowledge of canoeing and camping in the Quetico and the Boundary Waters. Their rental equipment is the best and provides the opportunity to try out the latest in a paddling and camping equipment. This year it was the new Kevlar paddles and the light weight rain tarp. Both were great equipment additions. We found the Wenonah paddle to be super light and durable and the rain tarp adaptable to different campsite situations. If you are planning your first canoe trip, Piragis Northwoods is the place I suggest you start." Jack Willey Western Springs, IL THANKS, JACK AND THANKS FOR THE COOL PICS BELOW!
"Hey folks! It is getting toasty where my wife and I live in Austin, TX. We’re already looking forward next winter’s trip out on the lakes! I subscribe to your blog, and saw the post on the PV. I knew Steve was working on renewable because we read the Echo and Timberjay, but I did not know you were about to put panels on the roof. I linked to your post on my blog. http://helpwithgreen.blogspot.com/ Keep up the great work."
