Well well it’s that time of year again. The summer went well. Jonny boy did most of the guiding out of our boat named Imagine That. My grandma Olga up here use to say eww imagine that in that Swedish accent when we told her fishing and hunting stories. As all grama’s are one of kind, we sure miss her. She is also the one that gave me my nick name Cookie
The fishing this summer was again really good. I did not play golf as much as the years past but still got quite a bit in after work.
Our books are slowing filling up although there’s still plenty openings. Cookiesonupperredlake.com to check out our houses. we have added a house nick named Idaho which has 4 single bunk beds,8 holes, indoor biffy, 2 burner stove top.
This year the Kelliher fire and rescue will be having a fishing derby dec.13th. Theres a big raffle to raise money for equipment ,training etc.. 1 raffle ticket enters you in the derby. The derby will only be held if we have safe ice but the raffle will still be held out of westwind. Westwinds facebook page has more details. They have also added on to their bait shop.
The gas station here in town has been closed so if you’re coming up make sure you have plenty of fuel, snacks etc.. otherwise it is 17 miles back to Kelliher.
I’ve started inventory on the house’s plus getting them all cleaned up and detailed. Jonny has been focused on the fleet as they always need something. Blue thunder is still down not sure if she will ever see the lake again at this time. The white Ghost and rusty trusty will be the two workhorses. Both having big block 454s. Our granddaughter Ashly poo will be coming up to help again this year. Matty has to go to school so he will not be helping out.

I have not decided if I want to deer hunt this year, I’ll have to decide. Rick and Bob will not be coming up as the wolfs have made the hunting tougher. the hammer and I did get to have a grouse dinner so that was sweet. Its not to early to get those reservations in the books
