October 2009 Monthly Newsletter
Wigwam Resort on Lake of the Woods… your destination for year round outdoor enthusiasts. Lake of the Woods is an extraordinary body of water with over 65,000 miles of shoreline and over 14,000 islands. The Wigwam Resort is located 12 miles north of Baudette, MN (Walleye Capital of the World) and is in (arguably) the best position to access both Lake of the Woods and Rainy River. We cater to groups of up to 100. We will customize a package for you with a meeting facility, hunting, fishing, or what ever you need. Groups of 24 or more are eligible for group discounts or other incentives. As you navigate through our site, if you don’t see something you would like, please give us a call at (800) 448-9260 and one of our helpful staff members will accommodate you.
Welcome to another edition of the Wigwam Monthly Newsletter. September we saw some of the best weather of the summer and it was welcomed with open arms on Lake of the Woods. A true “Indian Summer” swept through northern Minnesota last month and I’m hoping that it will last just a few more weeks before we get hit with winter…I am truly an optimist. Growing up in International Falls, MN made me appreciate and respect the weather, so needless to say there is nothing any of us can truly do but wait and see…I hope for the best. September also brought us the MTT (Minnesota Tournament Trail) Fishing Championship to Lake of the Woods and I would like to congratulate Mr. Tom Briggs (Owner of the Wigwam Resort) and Mr. Rick Amundson (Tom’s fishing partner) for being the WINNERS! They won the MTT Championship by bringing in some monster fish…the next closest team was 7 lbs under…what a tournament. Tom and Rick were awarded a brand new 2009 Skeeter boat…NICE! This was Tom and Rick’s 2nd win of the season while fishing the MTT…Congratulations!
October is an exciting time of year in northern Minnesota and Lake of the Woods in particular. This is the season of bright colors and big Walleyes. We at the Wigwam Resort have been anxiously waiting for this since it ended last year and its here again! If you have the same blood running through your veins as I do, then you are getting awfully excited right now, because I am. The leaves are drastically changing daily to accentuate our beautiful landscape, and I have been able to see with my own eyes some very big Walleyes, which are currently being caught right out in front of the Wigwam Resort…the biggest was 12-1/2 lbs…NICE FISH! This is exactly what I was expecting for October of this year…YES!
If anyone has already stored the boat for the year, don’t miss out on our charter fishing specials in October…our guides and staff are top shelf (like where grandma used to keep the peanut butter)…we put you on the fish each and every day! If you’ve packed away the rods and reels and are getting ready for the fall hunt, don’t miss out on the awesome hunting that we are experiencing right now. Grouse is at a 10 year high and they are waiting to be put into your crock pot with some cream of mushroom soup (my Mom’s secret recipe). The White Tail Deer population is up also. Northern Minnesota and the Wigwam Resort are outdoor enthusiast’s dream locations this year…see you up here!
