A GREAT START TO THE MN FISHING SEASON
Fishing season at our northern Minnesota, Gunflint Trail fishing resort has gotten off to a really great start. As we had predicted, due to ice-out being a little later than normal on the Gunflint Trail this year fishing has been very productive, due to the fish being more aggressive than normal for this time of the year.

The Walleye and Northern's on Hungry Jack Lake have been very co-operative. Guests at our MN family fishing resort have had some very exciting fishing, as you can see from the photos shown below.
Among the fish that John Gulbranson caught during the first few days of fishing, while at our lakefront resort, were a couple of nice Walleye and a Northern (catch and release).
Ken Miller from Atlanta Georgia was fly fishing in his canoe
close to the shore on Hungry Jack Lake and landed this nice looking 24” Walleye. Then just a few minutes later he picked up a nice 32” Northern. (Caught and Released)

Pat Kochendorfer from Richmond, WI (a long time Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground customer) and his fishing buddy picked up 6 nice walleyes last night as well. The biggest one was about 24”. They were using leeches in an undisclosed location here on Hungry Jack Lake.
FAMILY VACATION RESORT LOG LODGE UPDATE
Work on the log lodge at our Gunflint Trail lakefront family vacation resort is progressing at a rapid rate. As each day goes by, our vision of having the the most modern, yet rustic, log lodge on the Gunflint Trail comes closer to reality. We feel than when the new main log lodge is completed at our Minnesota lakeside resort it will have the most attractive and best log lodge in northern MN. We are incorporating the latest, most modern features and amenities into our lakefront lodge and at the same time retaining a true north woods look and feel.
Because we do not want to open our new lakeside lodge until it totally and completely finished we have unfortunately had to push back the anticipated grand opening of the new main lodge until near the end of June. All of the services normally offered at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground are of course available, except for the food, bar and game room, which will be available when our new log lodge opens.

ICE OUT & BOATS IN FOR MN WALLEYE FISHING
The ice is totally out on Hungry Jack Lake. The fishing boats at our Minnesota family fishing resort are in the water and we expect a great begining to the opening of the MN walleye fishing season, which opened today May 9th.
We had been worried that ice would not be off of Hungry Jack Lake for the "opener" but weather on the Gunflint Trail in Grand Marais, MN co-operated and we are good to go. Temperatures at our Gunflint Trail fishing resort are cool today with a high in the mid 40's expected. With the ice coming off of the lakes in the mid Gunflint Trail area of northern MN a little later than normal we expect that fishing will be great due to the fact that fish are normally very aggressive when ice-out first occurs.
We'll have to wait to see how the opening week of MN fishing goes, but at this point we expect fishing to be very exciting and good.
HUNGRY JACK'S NEW LOG LODGE CONSTRUCTION
Construction on the main log lodge building at our northern Minnesota resort is progressing at a good pace.
A neighbor of ours, from the other side of Hungry Jack Lake, sent us the photo shown on the left the other day. The photo shows a rainbow with its' bottom edge on the penninsula where the new lodge at our family fishing resort is being constructed. It's a little difficult to see, but just to the left of the rainbow base, nestled in the trees, you can see our new fishing resort lodge building.
Hopefully the rainbow will bring us luck in getting the new log lodge at our MN lakeside resort completed quickly. As work progresses on the new log lodge it becomes even more impressive than we had hoped for. When looking at the blueprints it was difficult to get a true idea of just how majestic and beautiful the log lodge would end up being.
MN LAKEFRONT FAMILY VACATION RESORT
We still have openings at our Minnesota lakefront family vacation resort but our lakeside log cabin rentals are filling up fast. Dates are filling in quickly, especially for the months of July and August. If you are planning a family or fishing vacation in the Gunflint Trail & BWCAW area we suggest that you make your reservations early to insure that a lakeside log cabin or cottage rental is available for your vacation dates.
Don't forget about our northern MN campground. If you and your family like to camp our campground is great and offers full hook-ups. Our wooded campsites make a great "base camp" for canoeing day trips into the BWCAW.
Online reservations for our MN resort can be made from the Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground website. If you have questions about our Gunflint Trail lakeside resort or prefer to make your over the telephone, give as a call at (800) 338-1566.

Minnesota walleye, lake trout, stream trout in lakes, sauger and northern pike seasons open on May 9th this year.
Usually the opening date for Minnesota walleye fishing is busy at our northern MN fishing resort, located on the Gunflint Trail in northern MN. Walleye fishing on Hungry Jack Lake and the adjacent lakes both inside and outside of the BWCAW is normally very productive as fishermen take advantage of the ravenous appetites that walleye and other fish have after a long winter under the ice.
Though the opening date for walleye season in MN will officially open on 5/9/09, people who normally fish for walleye on Hungry Jack Lake and other lakes in the Gunflint Trail area during the week of the walleye opener MAY be greeted with ice and be delayed until ice is off of the lake. We are anticipating that the ice will be out either this weekend or early next week. (Between 5/9 and 5/14) That is the best that we can guess.
Earlier than normal severe cold produced ice that was thicker than usual. In addition, we had higher than normal snow fall amounts in the Gunflint Trail & eastern BWCAW areas of northern Minnesota during the 2008/2009 winter season. The eastern BWCA and Gunflint Trail areas also received some fairly heavy snows in late winter and early spring which further insulated the ice and has slowed the thawing of lake ice. As a result of “ice out” being later normal in northern Minnesota’s Gunflint Trail and eastern BWCA regions, fishing for walleye during the week of the MN opener at our Gunflint Trail fishing resort can possibly be delayed by a week.
Fishermen who look forward to coming to our northern MN fishing resort for the walleye “opener” are no doubt disappointed by the possible delay, but there is an upside to the late thaw and ice out. In years past we have found that when the ice comes off of Hungry Jack Lake late, walleye and other fish are even more hungry and aggressive than when ice is out earlier. Though lake ice thawing will possibly be delayed by a week, when the ice does come out we feel that fishing at our Gunflint Trail fishing resort will be even more exciting and productive than normal.
MN LARGEMOUTH BASS & SMALLMOUTH BASS FISHING
The MN Smallmouth Bass & Largemouth Bass fishing seasons opens on May 23rd, 2009.
Hungry Jack Lake is a Minnesota DNR managed smallmouth bass trophy lake. Guests of our MN family fishing resort will generally catch smallmouth bass that are larger than what is normally caught in similar northern Minnesota, Gunflint Trail and eastern BWCAW lakes.
If you combine the fact that Hungry Jack Lake is a managed smallmouth bass trophy lake and the fact that the ice will be out late this year, your best bet for exciting MN smallmouth bass fishing is Hungry Jack Lodge fishing resort on the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota.
MN FISHING RESORT LAKSIDE CABINS
It's not too late to make reservations for opening week of the Minnesota fishing season. Hungry Jack Lodge fishing resort in northern Minnesota has lakeside cabins available for rent during the opening weeks of the MN fishing seasons. Each of our lakefront cabins and cottages has its’ own dock. MN fishing licenses plus boat and motor rentals are, of course, available at Hungry Jack Lodge fishing resort on the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota.
