Welcome To Grass River Lodge

With Your Hosts, Ike and Liz Enns!

2009 marks 25 fantastic years for us at the Grass River Lodge. Over the years, we have learned many things. Some of these things have been learned by trial and error, some by common sense and some from our spectacular guests. But one thing that we know works in all aspects of life is to be honest and sell people what you have to offer, don't mislead people by trying to sell something you can’t deliver. I believe in my heart that if you serve people the way you want to be served, you will be rewarded with repeat customers. Excellent food, 5 Star accommodations, great service and awesome fishing. This is what keeps our guests coming back year after year.

For many families, the first generation has already passed on and the next generation is following in the Dad's kind of vacation. If you have never been to Grass River Lodge why not give us a try? I know that you will not be disappointed. For those who have been with us, we would like to say thank you for helping our Lodge so successful. We appreciate everyone of you and look forward to helping you plan your next fishing trip.
Here at Grass River Lodge we are already excited and busy preparing for the upcoming season. 2008 was one of the more challenging years we have experienced in our 25 years. With the high fuel prices, the US dollar declining in value and the stock market taking a dive but we continue to offer our same exceptional fishing and excellent customer service.

When I started the catch and release program 20 years ago I could not have imagined in my wildest dream catching Walleye between 250 and 300 per season running between 28” and 34” long in a single summer. On many days we have a hard time finding Walleye small enough for a shore lunch. This is a great problem to have! Twenty years ago, catching a 41" pike was quite common. Then gradually we were catching 44-45" pike. The past 6-7 years Reed Lake has become a phenomenal trophy lake. We are catching many Pike each week running 44-48”. Our largest in 2008 was 50" long. What a catch! You may be asking yourself...does the catch and release work? I believe it's yes. In 2008 in total we caught and released 556 trophy fish! And this ensures that we will have awesome fishing for many more years to come.

We also contribute our 25 wonderful years of success to our exceptional guides. Most of our guides have been with us 12-24 years. They are the best of the best and we know you will enjoy them as much as we do. All of our guides speak fluent English and go out of their way to make our guests feel welcome. Many of our guests request the same guide year after year. Our guide’s work extra hard to help you catch “the big one.”
